President Donald Trump became a Twitter laughingstock late Thursday with yet another typo.
Trump wrote “Boarder Security” instead of “border security” in a tweet in which he claimed, without offering any evidence, that Arizona was “bracing for a massive surge” of immigrants at “a NON-WALLED area.”
Arizona, together with our Military and Border Patrol, is bracing for a massive surge at a NON-WALLED area. WE WILL NOT LET THEM THROUGH. Big danger. Nancy and Chuck must approve Boarder Security and the Wall!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2018
The gaffe ― which is not the first of its kind ― inevitably came to the attention of other tweeters, who flooded Trump’s replies with images of, well, boarders:
