Like father like son, the famous saying goes, and on Saturday even Donald Trump proved he wasn’t immune to the proverb.
Trump repeated a glaring typo twice in a tweet about a free speech rally in Boston, just a day after son Donald Trump Jr got criticized for his own spelling mistake.
The president took to Twitter to comment on the 15,000 anti-fascist protesters who marched through the streets to protest against right-wing activists on Saturday.
‘Our great country has been divided for decades. Sometimes you need protest in order to heel, & we will heel, & be stronger than ever before!’ he wrote.

Many also couldn’t help but notice that Trump was suddenly supporting the protesters just hours after calling them ‘anti-police agitators’.
‘Looks like many anti-police agitators in Boston,’ he wrote at 12.22pm on Saturday. ‘Police are looking tough and smart! Thank you.’
Mark Harris joked that one of Trump’s staff members had been frantically helping him understand both the importance of the Boston counter-protesters and good spelling.
‘Sincere thanks to whoever ran into the crapper to explain the value of protest to the president, then ran in again to explain spelling, the writer joked on Twitter.

‘The most interesting measure of a fried is the difference between their personal texts to you and their FB posts,’ he wrote.

Twitter immediately piled on Trump Jr, cracking jokes over both the vagueness of the tweet and the typo.
‘Are you 14 years old?’ one user jokingly asked, as another piled on, ‘a 14 year old emo at that’.
‘Friend? Fried? Fraud? Fiend? You can pick,’ shot back user Chris Parry.
‘The best thing about this is, Junior actually thinks this tweet is so insightful that he went to the trouble of fixing his typo,’ another added.
Trump Jr’s tweet came just hours after former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon was fired by John Kelly, Trump’s former Chief of Staff.
