One liddle' word shall fell him.
OK, anyone can make a mistake. Hyphen, apostrophe: a slip of the thumb. No big deal.
But there is more going on in this tweet.
First, yes, it was an apostrophe, not a hyphen. A minor issue, easily cleared up with an "oops-I-goofed" comment (not likely forthcoming).
Second, the apostrophe served no purpose, unless random punctuation has some significance unknown to any non-genius.
Third, some copy editor realized the apostrophe was superfluous and did a kindness by removing it.
Fourth, in someone's mind this edit was evidence of a grand conspiracy by CNN and mainstream media against the president.
When (avoid-the-)Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham says “I worked with John Kelly, and he was totally unequipped to handle the genius of our great President” what is she referring to?
Perhaps it is our great President's colossal imagination. Who else could perceive a nation-wide media conspiracy from such a liddle' issue?
Or perhaps it is his magnificent good sense now displayed in no longer using this descriptor for Adam Schiff. He has shifted to shifty Schiff. Genius.

Your thoughts are welcome! I'll try not to flinch if there are nasty ones, which I understand are fairly common nowadays.
