Donald Trump has again misspelled the word “smoking” while insisting on Twitter that his campaign did not collude with Russia.
The US president was implicated by his own former attorney in a felony on Friday but in a series of frantic tweets, has remained defiant by claiming he did nothing wrong.
On Monday morning, the US president tweeted: “Democrats can’t find a Smocking Gun tying the Trump campaign to Russia after James Comey’s testimony. No Smocking Gun...No Collusion.” @FoxNews That’s because there was NO COLLUSION. So now the Dems go to a simple private transaction, wrongly call it a campaign contribution,...
In a second tweet minutes later he continued: “....which it was not (but even if it was, it is only a CIVIL CASE, like Obama’s - but it was done correctly by a lawyer and there would not even be a fine. Lawyer’s liability if he made a mistake, not me). Cohen just trying to get his sentence reduced. WITCH HUNT!”
It appears the president’s misspelling of the word “smoking” is more than just a typo.
In August, he posted a tweet, which has since been deleted: “‘We already have a smocking gun about a campaign getting dirt on their opponent, it was Hillary Clinton. How is it OK for Hillary Clinton to proactively seek dirt from the Russians but the Trump campaign met at the Russians request and that is bad?’ Marc Thiessen, Washington Post”
Mr Trump has a history of not spell checking his posts.
This year he has tweeted “special councel” instead of “special counsel” multiple times when writing about the Robert Mueller investigation.
He has also spelled numerous names wrong including that of former US president Barack Obama and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Last December, he infamously misspelled the word “coverage” as “covfefe,” waiting hours before deleting the tweet.
