Donald Trump Misspelled Melania's Name While Congratulating Her, and It's the 'Covfefe' of 2018
After undergoing a successful kidney procedure on Monday that left her in the hospital for five nights, First Lady Melania Trump has returned to the White House. According to a Saturday morning statement from Melania's spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham: "She is resting comfortably and remains in high spirits. Our office has received thousands of calls and emails wishing Mrs. Trump well, and we thank everyone who has taken the time to reach out.”
President Donald Trump also took to Twitter—as he's wont to do—to celebrate her recovery: "Great to have our incredible First Lady back home in the White House. Melanie is feeling and doing really well. Thank you for all of your prayers and best wishes!”
Notice something wrong here? Her name is Melania, not, Melanie. Now is autocorrect be to blame? Sure. Is it still pretty cringe-funny? Well....yes.
Luckily, someone caught the misspelling quickly: The President deleted and re-posted the tweet with the right spelling.
However, Twitter is still abuzz with hilarious reactions about the 2018 version of his infamous "covfefe" moment.
“Hey don’t get so mad about Trump misspelling Melania’s name. It could happen to anyone. - Mayghen’s husband," one user signed off.
"Misspelling her name as Melanie is the way Melania knows he actually wrote the tweet himself," wrote another user.
Some came in with a royal wedding roast: "Maybe their invitation to the #royalwedding was lost because it was addressed to Donald and Melanie." (To be clear, no foreign leaders were invited to the royal wedding.)
Oh, Twitter—always there for the big moments. In the meantime, here's hoping Melania continues to have a speedy recovery.
