Donald Trump has “liked” a tweet calling him un-presidential.
After misspelling the word “healing” — again — the President corrected a tweet about tropical storm Harvey, drawing ridicule from the public. Mr Trump, apparently monitoring the responses, then added a critical tweet of him to his short list of liked tweets.
“Please, after several typo’s, he’s just not Presidential material,” Twitter user Slyn wrote.
Slyn’s own typo aside, the tweet was the seventh response in a thread that brought both supporters and opponents to the table. Some ridiculed Mr Trump, and said they hope the President doesn’t slip up “on the nuclear button.” Others simply noted that Mr Trump is, in fact, still a human after all, in spite of his powerful office.
It’s unclear if the President meant to jam is finger on that little heart on his phone, or even, really, if he was intently reading the messages. He gets thousands of replies to any given tweet he sends out, many from anonymous accounts. But, doing so is at least somewhat significant as Mr Trump has liked just 14 tweets (including the most recent one, but not including any that he may have “unliked”).
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for clarification as to why the President would like a tweet saying he is not presidential material. Mr Trump also did not immediately respond to a tagged tweet asking him about the like. Slyn later tweeted that Mr Trump had blocked him on the social media platform.
