After a chaotic day in the White House, it seems all Donald Trump Jr wanted was a friend.
Or is that…a ‘fried’?
Donald Trump’s eldest son once again became Twitter’s punching bag late Friday night after a bizarre tweet with a glaring typo.
‘The most interesting measure of a fried is the difference between their personal texts to you and their FB posts,’ he wrote.
It took more than 30 minutes before the businessman recognized his mistake and corrected ‘fried’ to ‘friend’.
Donald Trump’s eldest son once again became Twitter’s punching bag late Friday night after he posted a bizarre tweet with a glaring typo about ‘true friends’ – spelling it ‘fried’ instead

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.
But Trump Jr’s tweet may have been related to recent reports that he would be the focus of special counselor Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia investigation.
Some speculated that the tweet was referring to former chief strategist Steve Bannon, who was ousted from the White House dramatically on Friday

A source told Buzzfeed that Mueller and his team were turning their attention to a meeting Trump Jr held with a Russian lawyer who promised intel on Hillary Clinton.
Trump Jr admitted last month that he was hoping to obtain compromising information when he met with Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya on June 9.
He received an email that read promised ‘official documents and information’ to the Trump campaign that would ‘incriminate Hillary Clinton’ and ‘would be very useful to your father’, clearly referring to Trump.
Trump Jr replied: ‘If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer.’
The meeting occurred on June 9 of 2016 and was attended by Trump Jr, his brother-in-law Jared Kushner, and Trump’s campaign manager Paul Manafort.
Others predicted that Trump Jr was referring to Mitt Romney, who lashed out at Trump on Friday and demanded he apologize for his Charlottesville remarks
Romney took to Facebook to demand that Trump ‘take remedial action in the extreme’
Trump Jr claimed he did not receive any pertinent information regarding Clinton, but a source said Mueller is trying to determine what exactly he found out that day.
Mueller and his team are also examining Trump Jr’s statements regarding the meeting, which changed multiple times.
Others predicted that Trump Jr was referring to Mitt Romney, who lashed out at Trump on Friday and demanded he apologize for his Charlottesville remarks.
Trump has come under fire throughout the week after claiming ‘many sides’ were responsible for the violence that broke out in the Virginia college town.
Romney took to Facebook on Friday to demand that Trump ‘take remedial action in the extreme’.
‘He should address the American people, acknowledge that he was wrong, apologize,’ the failed 2012 GOP presidential candidate wrote.
‘State forcefully and unequivocally that racists are 100% to blame for the murder and violence in Charlottesville.’
