President Donald Trumps unabashed use of his @realDonaldTrump Twitter account has been met with praise by some and eye rolls from others. Throughout the 2016 campaign, Trump used Twitter to send derogatory messages about a range of characters, from opponents little Marco Rubio and low-energy Jeb Bush to so ridiculous Major League Baseball.
Trumps use of Twitter has led to controversy, particularly when he accused former President Barack Obama of wiretapping his campaign and hinted that he had tapes of his conversation with former FBI Director James Comey (he doesnt).
His Twitter usealso has revealed that spelling probably wasnt the presidents best subject in elementary school. Can you spell better than Trump? Here are 25words Trump has spelled wrong, or made a typo on, over the last year and a half.

The president misspelled the last name of the candidate he supported in the special election in Georgias 6th Congressional District.
Karen Handle's opponent in #GA06 can't even vote in the district he wants to represent, he tweeted June 19, before deleting and correcting.
Trumps "covfefe" tweet received tons of coverage.White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer appeared serious when he claimed the president and a select group of people knew exactly what he meant.It appears he meant coverage.
Despite the constant negative press covfefe, Trump tweeted in the early morning of May 31, before deleting it hours later.
Trump has had a very difficult time with the word counsel, part of White House Counsel Don McGahns title and Robert Muellers position in investigating Trump.
On May 18, the day after Mueller was appointed special counsel, Trump tweeted and deleted, With all of the illegal acts that took place in the Clinton campaign & Obama Administration, there was never a special councel appointed!
Just before former deputy attorney general Sally Yatess testimony before Congress, Trump alsomisspelledthe word.
Ask Sally Yates, under oath, if she knows how classified information got into the newspapers soon after she explained it to W.H. Council, he tweeted and deleted.
Principal vs. principle is a common elementary spelling lesson. It appears the president still doesntunderstand the difference, at least according to a deleted tweet from March 7.
Buy American & hire American are the principals at the core of my agenda, which is: JOBS, JOBS, JOBS! Thank you @exxonmobil, he tweeted.
In one of the presidents more infamous tweets, Trump misspelled tap in accusing Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower. Unlike most of Trumps other tweets with spelling errors, he has not deleted this one.
Trump struggled greatlyin spelling "hereby" correctly when calling for an investigation into Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumers ties to Russia in a tweet on March 3. He originally spelled it hear by before incorrectly changing it to hearby before finally getting it right with hereby.
Trump made an embarrassing spelling mistake upon his inauguration, tweeting that he was honered to serve as the 45th president. He deleted the tweet after it was up for about fourhours.
He made the same mistake, using an e instead of a second o, while celebrating a self-proclaimed debate win.
Wow, every poll said I won the debate last night. Great honer! he tweeted and deleted February 26, 2016.
The president struggled with the wordunprecedented in a since-deleted December 17, 2016 tweet.
China steals United States Navy research drone in international waters - rips it out of water and takes it to China in unpresidented act, he tweeted.
Trump deleted a tweet December 15, 2016, after adding an e to the word wait.
If Russia, or some other entity, was hacking, why did the White House waite so long to act? Why did they only complain after Hillary lost? he tweeted.
Trump had a particularly rough spelling week from December 10 to17, 2016. On the 10th, he attemptedto discredit a CNN report on his involvement with The Apprenticeas president by tweeting:Reports by @CNN that I will be working on The Apprentice during my Presidency, even part time, are rediculous & untrue - FAKE NEWS!
Then-candidate Trump stumbled in attempting to blame Obama and Clinton for terrorism in September2016.
Saturdays attacks show that failed Obama/Hillary Clinton polices wont keep us safe! I will Make America Safe Again! he tweeted and deleted.
In trying to attract Bernie Sanders voters, he misspelled waste" (and seemed to have trouble with the differences between "there,""their"and "they're").
Looks to me like the Bernie people will fight. If not, there blood, sweat and tears was a total waist of time. Kaine stands for opposite! he tweeted and deleted July 24, 2016.
The weekend in Texas and Arizona wss fantastic. I raised a lot of money for the Republican National Committee @Reince, he tweeted and deleted June 20, 2016.
Crooked Hillary just can't close the dael with Bernie. It will be the same way with ISIS, and China on trade, and Mexico at the border. Bad! he tweeted and deleted May 8, 2016.
A word that has certainly knocked manymiddle schoolers out of spelling bees, "judgment" drops the e at the end of the word judge.
Hillary has bad judgement! Trumptweeted and deleted May 16, 2016.
The famed basketball coach was a staunch supporter of Trump during the campaign, but that didnt prevent Trump from misspelling his name on Twitter.
I will be campaigning in Indiana all day. Things are looking great, and the support of Bobby Night has been so amazing. Today will be fun! he tweeted and deleted May 2, 2016.
(Of course, rival Ted Cruz clearly edged Trump on a big basketball-related gaffe, calling a hoop abasketball ring.)
These politicians like Cruz and Graham, who have watched ISIS and many other problems develope for years, do nothing to make thing better!, Trump tweeted and deleted March 24, 2016.
.@AndreaTantaros- You are a true journalistic profesional. I so agree with what you say. Keep up the great work! he tweeted and deleted March 19, 2016.
It is Clinton and Sanders people who disrupted my rally in Chicago - and then they say I must talk to my people. Phony politicions! he tweeted and deleted March 12, 2016.
Although Trump has praised Haley since naming herU.S. ambassador to the United Nations, he wasn'talways been a big fan.
The people of South Carolina are embarrassed by Nikki Hailey! he tweeted and deleted March 1, 2016.
Trump doesnt seem to mind that he misspelled paid in this March 6, 2016 tweet, which is still up.
Then-candidate Donald Trump tried out a variety of derogatory nicknames for his opponents after low-energy Jeb Bush caught on. But he had some issues spelling lightweight, which he was using to describe Rubio.
Lying Ted Cruz and leightweight chocker Marco Rubio teamed up last night in a last ditch effort to stop our great movement. They failed! he tweeted and deleted February 26, 2016.
Did you catch the other error in the above tweet? Trump really struggled with the term lightweight choker.
Leightweight chocker Marco Rubio looks like a little boy on stage. Not presidential material! he tweeted and deleted, also on February 26.
Lose vs. Loose is another elementary school grammar lesson Trump likely struggled with, if his Twitter is any indication.
Although Trump has spelled Barack right most of the time, he has also added an extra r on a fewoccasions.
