Typos continue to come thick and fast for President Donald Trump’s administration.

In yet another “covfefe”-style moment, the White House’s official Twitter account was widely mocked Friday for failing to spell “United States” correctly.

Instead, it tweeted a quote from Trump containing the phrase: “United Sates.”

Oops!

The post has now been deleted, but it is the latest embarrassing spelling gaffe to come out of the White House. Trump also has a fair few typos to his name. In May, he referred to his wife and first lady Melania Trump as “Melanie.

Unsurprisingly, this latest error caught the attention of people on Twitter — who responded in various amusing ways:

...and at this rate, job openings for fact-checkers, proofreaders and English teachers should at least triple. Psychiatrists should QUADRUPLE.

With that said, God bless the United SATES of America. pic.twitter.com/fG2MIIH0K8

Trump "I've got the best words. Some I even made up myself. United Sates of America. Sometimes it goes by Sates other times it goes by states. I am a stable genius. Lock her up!"

It turns out the @WhiteHouse tweet wasn’t a typo.

You guys, it's a direct quote. Maybe he did say "United Sates". Sometimes when you rant for hours about witch hunts and fake news and Hillary Clinton orchestrating conspiracies, the tongue grows tired and you start messing up.

I wonder if I can get a good job as a proofreader in the United Sates? 🤔🤔
