Rudy Giuliani, part of President Donald Trump’s legal team, tweeted an unusual typo on Monday.
While complaining about a report saying he’s been chain-smoking cigarettes out of concern over Trump’s latest tweets, the former New York mayor claimed he doesn’t smoke them... and in fact hates ’em.
But “hate ’em” came out as “hate ’me.”
There is a moron on Fox claiming I chain smoke cigarettes worrying about the President’s tweets. Don’t smoke cigarettes. Hate ‘me. Smoke only premium cigars and I hope this idiot is not a lawyer because if he is he should sue his Law School.

The quick slip was loved by Twitter critics... but for all the wrong reasons if you’re on Giuliani’s side:
Good Lord Rudy, can you get through one tweet without some weird Freudian slip? #Hate’me

"Don't smoke cigarettes. Hate me." Literally the best advice Rudy has given anyone in a very, very long time.

“There is a moron on Fox”-doesn’t really narrow the possibilities
“Hate ‘me”-we already do, but thanks for that
“smoke only premium cigars”-you need people to know you have $, entitled jerk
“you should sue your law school”-Rudy, take your own advice https://t.co/UJ5VnzR5Ar

That "Hate 'me." typo may be the most nakedly honest thing Rudy has said since 9/11 https://t.co/1OPADRb9CH
