Trump Botches His Own Name In The Most Awkward Typo You'll Ever See
President Donald Trump on Sunday posted a message on his Truth Social website thanking the B-2 pilots who took part in this weekend's attack on Iran.
But the president's message had one key flaw: He misspelled his own name.
'The GREAT B-2 pilots have just landed, safely, in Missouri. Thank you for a job well done!!!' Trump wrote, then signed his message in all caps: 'DONAKD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!'
Trump deleted the message and replaced it with a corrected version, but a website that archives his posts shows the typo.
Trump has a long and colorful history of typo-ridden social media posts, including the infamous 'covfefe' message of 2017, along with his references to a 'stollen' election, 'Wirch Hunt,' and 'hamberders.'
He's bungled his own name before, referring to himself in 2019 as 'Donald Ttump,' and that of his wife, whom he called 'Melanie' Trump in 2018.
It's not clear if Trump typed the message himself. A former aide, Madeleine Westerhout, testified during his criminal trial last year that when Trump was on Twitter, he preferred to dictate his messages, down to his trademark use of capitalizations and exclamation points.
Footage released last year also showed him dictating and supervising his social media posts.
Trump's critics called him out over the awkward typo:

Iran Taunts 'Gambler Trump' in New Threat to 'Criminal America'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Iranian armed forces issued a new threat to the U.S. after the strikes on nuclear sites ordered by President Donald Trump, saying the "scope of legitimate and diverse targets" for Tehran's response is now broader. Addressing "Criminal America", a spokesman for the command headquarters of the Iranian armed forces said the U.S. had violated Iran's sovereignty by joining Israel's war and "trespassing upon Iran's sacred soil". "This hostile act was carried out with the aim of reviving the dying Zionist regime," the spokesman said in a video statement. "However, not only was it futile, but it will also broaden the scope of legitimate and diverse targets for the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran and lay the groundwork for the expansion of war across the region. "We assure you that, following this aggression, the hands of the clock will no longer turn in your favor. "The warriors of Islam, in response to this crime, will carry out powerful and targeted operations that will inflict heavy, regretful, and unpredicted consequences upon you, god willing. "Gambler Trump: You can start this war, but we will be the one to end it." This is a breaking news story. Updates to follow.
