In what some are calling an “act of war” against the United States, on Thursday a Chinese Navy ship swiped a U.S. research drone right from under the nose of the USNS Bowditch, which had deployed the $150,000 drone to conduct basic non-military research such as ocean floor mapping.
President-elect Donald Trump tweeted about the incident Saturday morning, then deleted it about an hour and a half later:

Reaction on both sides was over the top. Even though he hasn’t even taken office yet, liberals were already blaming Trump!

Predictably, there was plenty of reaction to Trump’s spelling mistake (OK, it WAS pretty funny):

unpresidented (noun) Man who shouldn't be allowed to be president due to being a fluorescent fucktrumpet

It's amazing, his first tweet of the day almost always has a spelling mistake. He must sneak to his phone first thing.

You must have seen the other day, he misspelt the word "wait"… pic.twitter.com/kNh93Og6IT

you should be unpresidented!

this was an alley-oop. A misspelling to unpresidented – multiple letters off? Come on.

Like him or not, it’s hard to argue that Trump didn’t leave himself open for THAT one!

Trump supporters also weighed in:

So, can we all agree that Trump needs a social media manager, or at the very least a spell checker?
The tweet was reposted later with corrected spelling. A lot of people were not amused with the concern over Trump’s typo over the seriousness of the content.
