Trump Posts, Deletes Tweet Suggesting Special ‘Councel’ is ‘Leaking My Lawyers Letters’

President Donald Trump is spending the weekend at Camp David, gorging himself on Fox & Friends. He’s had an active morning on Twitter, signaling he might honor Kim Kardashian‘s pardon plea and blasting CNN’s ratings.

It wouldn’t be a Trump Twitter Day however without a good swipe at special counsel Robert Mueller‘s Russia probe.

“There was No Collusion with Russia (except by the Democrats),” Trump wrote, referring to an oft touted theory that the Clinton campaign’s funding of opposition research is the real collusion.

“When will this very expensive Witch Hunt Hoax ever end?” he continued. “So bad for our Country.”

Trump floated a poorly spelled theory, accusing Mueller’s probe or the Justice Department of leaking his lawyer’s “letters” and suggesting an investigation into “Dems corruption” instead of his own: “Is the Special Councel/Justice Department leaking my lawyers letters to the Fake News Media? Should be looking at Dems corruption instead?”

Trump deleted that tweet some time later, and reposted an updated tweet with correct spelling:

There was No Collusion with Russia (except by the Democrats). When will this very expensive Witch Hunt Hoax ever end? So bad for our Country. Is the Special Counsel/Justice Department leaking my lawyers letters to the Fake News Media? Should be looking at Dems corruption instead?

There have been recent reports that White House staffers often misspell tweets when they are writing them on behalf of Trump, in order to emulate his sloppy style. That doesn’t explain why this tweet was corrected however. Either way, the inability to accomplish very basic tasks like posting tweets doesn’t bode well for the larger job of running the U.S. government.
