White House Releases Embarrassing, Typo-Ridden Shutdown Message From Trump, They Want the Wall ‘Immediatly!’

Donald Trump and the members of his administration are not known to be the best spellers, with many instances of typos in tweets and official White House communications.

And it seems like, after two years in the White House, the habit is a hard one to break. The Washington Post reported on an official message from Trump, sent to Americans who originally sent emails to the commander-in-chief, includes embarrassing typos that likely wouldn’t be found acceptable at most corporate businesses.

The message, at just three paragraphs long, is meant to portray Trump as the writer of the response email, and includes the misspelled words “agreemnet” and “immediatly” within. The end of the message included Trump’s signature.

In the letter, Trump claimed that Democrats have obstructed efforts to increase border security by refusing to acquiesce to his demands for construction of a border wall between the United States and Mexico. In reality, Democrats have agreed to increase funding for border security in ways that don’t include a wall to the tune of $1.3 billion, while Trump is demanding more than $5 billion to fund the project.

The stalemate resulted in a partial shutdown of the federal government, with Trump stating he won’t agree to signing any bills to fully re-open the government without the funds he’s requesting for the wall.

In the final paragraph of his letter, which includes one of the typos, Trump said that lawmakers need to return to Washington willing to pass his proposals.

“I urge Congress to rejoin me in Washington to immediatly [sic] pass appropriations legislation that properly addresses the critical issues affecting our Nation’s security and prosperity.”
