In an error-ridden Sunday morning tweet, President Donald Trump attributed a statement about the U.S.-Turkey ceasefire to his Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper. But in a mistake that quickly sparked a trending hashtag, he called the top military official "Mark Esperanto."
The tweet was shared thousands of times before being deleted and appeared to directly contradict the plans to shift troops from Syria into western Iraq—not back to the U.S. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-e ... ey-1466525

I'm sure the only word he can spell from memory is Viagra.

What??? What happened to getting out of the Middle East. Now we need to help defend Iraq?Esper announced today that troops currently being moved will "help defend Iraq" and "perform a counter-ISIS mission as we sort through the next steps,"

LOL! It sounds like his autocorrect kicked in. Pretty embarrassing. Maybe he’ll learn to give a quick glance to the thing before posting it. Not that he’s a guy prone to learning from his mistakes...

A stupid and typical mistake but I'm more upset that Trump tweeted a made up quote from his Secretary of Defense.

Hopefully it's going on the long list of lies and misleading statements he's made so far, a list that is nearing 9,000. I'm glad someone's keeping record.

I typed Esper into my phone and it didn't auto correct to Esperanto, lol. I'm now wondering who "Esperanto" is? Has he just been calling his defense secretary by the wrong name?!Momto2boys973 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 20, 2019 4:27 pm LOL! It sounds like his autocorrect kicked in. Pretty embarrassing.
