Trump misspells 'unprecedented' in a tweet on China, Twitter roars

December 17, 2016 21:34

US President-elect Donald Trump today took to Twitter to slam China after it reportedly seized an unmanned US Navy drone, calling it an unprecedented act.

His tweet is getting a lot of attention on social media, but that has got more to do with the way in which the future 'leader of the free world' spelled the word 'unprecedented.'

"China steals United States Navy research drone in international waters -- rips it out of water and takes it to China in unpresidented (sic) act," the real estate magnate wrote on his favourite platform.

"Unpresidented" quickly became a top trending topic on Twitter in the United States, as online wags savaged the incoming president for the unfortunate misspelling.

"TrumpSpellCheck -- Unpresidentedly effective," tweeted "Harry Potter" author JK Rowling.

"Dear world, most Americans really wish we could be #unpresidented," another Twitter user wrote.
