Donald Trump’s freudian Twitter typo just birthed the best hashtag of 2016

When Donald Trump is shamed into deleting a tweet, you know it had to be bad.

This Saturday, Trump took to Twitter and shared his thoughts on the seizure of an American underwater drone by the Chinese military.

“China steals United States Navy research drone in international waters – rips it out of water and takes it to China in unpresidented act,” Trump tweeted.

But it wasn’t the president-elect’s wading into a potential international incident that started the ensuing social media uproar. It was his curious, freudianly ironic spelling of the word “unprecedented.”

Either Trump or someone from his staff eventually noticed the error and deleted the tweet, but not before someone got a screen grab:

#unpresidented became the instant hashtag of the day:

I couldn’t resist either.
