President Donald Trump once said that he has “the best words.”
As it turns out, many of those words are misspelled.
Since Trump won the presidency in November, he and his team have published a surprising number of official communications that contain typos, spelling errors, and word misusages.
Here are some of the most famous examples:
“Unpresidented”
President Trump’s most infamous typo occurred in December, when he described the Chinese seizure of a US Navy drone as an “unpresidented act.”
After the spelling miscue was widely mocked online, Trump deleted the tweet and replaced it with a correctly spelled version four hours later.

“Honered to serve”

Trump’s presidency got off to a rocky start, orthographically speaking. Just a day after assuming the office, the president tweeted that he was “honered to serve you, the great American People, as your 45th President of the United States!”
After Twitter users not-so-kindly pointed out the botched spelling of “honored,” Trump deleted the message and reposted it with the correct spelling.
“No challenge is to great”
Trump’s official inauguration poster contained a glaring usage mistake, albeit one that plenty of English speakers struggle with.
“No dream is too big, no challenge is to great,” the text on the poster read, superimposed over a picture of a beaming Trump.
It should have said “no challenge is too great.” The fact that the first part of the sentence contains the correct too suggests this mistake may have been a simple typo. Nevertheless, the blunder was roundly criticized, and reflected poorly on Trump’s inexperienced team.
