US President-elect Donald Trump got plenty of attention -- but not the kind he was looking for -- after a tweet 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.
"TrumpSpellCheck -- Unpresidentedly effective," tweeted "Harry Potter" author JK Rowling.

(9,350 posts)So, we have an incoming President who cannot spell. Does a person really go to an Ivy League university an not learn how to spell? Does a person go to an Ivy League university and not learn how to use a dictionary? This is the guy who asked/demanded to see President Obama's high school transcripts in order to see how he was able to get into an Ivy League university. I want to see both Donald Trump's high school and college transcripts in order to see how he got into an Ivy League university and to see how well, or poorly he performed at that university.

(20,018 posts)I'm pretty sure that many, many grade schoolers can loosely define and spell "unprecedented" and also tell you that "unpresidented" is not even a word.
So did the Precedent-elect drop out of grade school or simply buy his passage through school and his college and business school degrees?

(13,197 posts)Trump corrected his tweet, and CNN goes with the corrected version on its front page. One of its mini-headlines now reads "Trump slams Beijing and calls the incident unprecedented."
Thanks, CNN. The news that our president-elect is a careless idiot just got censored. Why?
