Spelling-challenged Donald Trump calls China’s drone seizure ‘unpresidented’
The President-elect’s Twitter typos are unprecedented and not presidential — or maybe “unpresidented”?
Spelling-challenged Donald Trump took to Twitter Saturday morning to break a day-old story, informing his followers that a Chinese warship had seized a U.S. Navy underwater glider. The Pentagon made the announcement a day earlier on Friday.
“China steals United States Navy research drone in international waters — rips it out of water and takes it to China in unpresidented act,” he wrote.
He likely meant to type unprecedented, since unpresidented is not a word.
Trump later deleted the tweet, and replaced it with an otherwise identical message that spelled unprecedented correctly.
The businessman-turned-politico has a long history of typos, and the bad spelling seems to have gotten worse in recent days.
On Thursday, he asked why the White House would “waite” so long to investigate reports that Russia meddled in the U.S. election. Last week, he claimed reports that he would continue to work on his reality TV show after he’s sworn in as president were “rediculous.”
He made plenty of errors before the election, too. In January, he tweeted that Ted Cruz would “loose” to Hillary Clinton if he were the Republican nominee.
Two months later, he wrote that the attack ads against him were “payed” for by special interest groups.
