When US President-elect Donald Trump made an ‘unpresidented’ mistake on Twitter, and got trolled

Now, now… before you get all excited, it’s basically a typo in a tweet against China, in which the US President-elect mis-spelled ‘unprecedented’ as ‘unpresidented’. Sure enough, before the mistake could be corrected, the unforgiving and ever-vigilant Twitterati were quick to take him to task for the spelling, and #unpresidented started doing the rounds on the micro-blogging website.

“China steals United States Navy research drone in international waters – rips it out of water and takes it to China in unpresidented act.” Trump had initially tweeted. Though, he did eventually realise his mistake and correct the tweet, there were those who clearly wished the billionaire businessman would be ‘unpresidented’. Many have even taken this as a Freudian slip, with the electoral college vote coming up on December 19.

Here are some of the tweets that followed his erroneous tweet.
