The amended letters all provide Trump with a number of corrections, ranging from grammatical errors to factual inaccuracies.
‘See me after class Donald. You will not pass this class if you don’t show some improvement very soon,’ read one note left on his letter.
That letter, which was given a F grade, also provided various pieces of advice including ‘this doesn’t make sense’ and ‘get a thesaurus’.
The notes also urged Trump to work on his vocabulary, particularly pointing to a section where he used the word ‘beautiful’ to describe Kim Jong-un releasing American hostages.
Trump had written: ‘I want to thank you for the release of the hostages who are now home with their families. That was a beautiful gesture and very much appreciated.’
The amended letters surfaced after Trump abruptly pulled the plug on Thursday on the high-stakes summit with North Korea
The person marking the letter offered up this piece of advice about Trump’s vocabulary: ‘Taking hostages is ‘beautiful’?? AGAIN, VOCAB!’
Other notes also advised Trump not to ‘pander to your audience’ in relation to his sentence telling Kim: ‘We greatly appreciate your time, patience and effort’.
Another version of the letter, which was given a D grade, noted that Trump had specifically mentioned something was irrelevant but still included it anyway.
‘If it’s irrelevant, why mention it at all?’ a note on the letter read.
The amended letters surfaced after Trump abruptly pulled the plug on Thursday on the high-stakes summit with North Korea.
He canceled the summit that was due to take place in Singapore next month, blaming ‘tremendous anger and open hostility’ from Pyongyang in recent days.
