When Donald Trump tried to spell unprecedented

Washington: US President-elect Donald Trump got plenty of attention — but not the kind he was looking for — after a tweet on Saturday calling out China for its seizure of an unmanned US naval probe.

“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 favorite 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.

“Dear world, most Americans really wish we could be #unpresidented,” wrote a Twitter user.
