Twitter seizes on a Trump tweet typo to demand Donald Trump be 'unpresidented'
President-elect Donald Trump sent one of his trademark early morning tweets Saturday and apparently didn't heed his phone's autocorrect, with disastrous results. Trump was criticizing China's seizure of an American oceanographic drone this week, and he wanted to call the situation "unprecedented."
Instead he called it "unpresidented" — and Twitter promptly caught the spelling error Trump missed. Though Trump soon deleted the tweet and replaced it with a corrected post, he'd already launched an #unpresidented tag of tweets making the all too obvious joke. See a few of many, including a screenshot of the original tweet, below.
Let's hope Trump is soon #unpresidented

If the electoral college did something unprecedented, then you would be unpresidented. pic.twitter.com/T1Eco45qwL

Perhaps Trump's phone autocorrected "unprecedented" to "unpresidented", because of how many times he's Googled: "How to get unpresidented?"
