'Donakd Trump': US president misspells his own name; social media erupts

Donald Trump put out a Truth Social post thanking the B-2 Spirit pilots who conducted the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, and announced that the planes and their pilots were back in the United States.

However, the post had a major typo - Trump misspelled his own name.

“The GREAT B-2 pilots have just landed, safely, in Missouri. Thank you for a job well done!!!” Trump wrote, then signed his message in all caps: “DONAKD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!”

He deleted the message and replaced it with a corrected version, but it was too late.

Trump has a long and history of typo-ridden social media posts, including the infamous “covfefe" message of 2017. In 2018, he mentioned first lady Melania Trump as "Melanie."

“Melanie.” Just...wow. pic.twitter.com/Apu2HYNP0G

Predictably, social media was in splits over his latest gaffe.

"Hey everyone!! Let’s call him DONAKD J. TRUMP," one user posted, while another wanted the US leader to be called "DONAKD J TRUMK, PRESIDEKT OF THE UNITKD STATKS."

"The deep state has replaced him! I don't know where Donald Trump is, but we didn't vote for this Donakd Trump guy," wrote Rep Jack Kimble, Trump's fellow Republican.
