Earlier this week, Donald Trump and Republican Sen. Bob Corker engaged in a war of words. During his latest round of tweets, the president decided to go back on the attack, but made a basic spelling mistake in the process.
Trump on Corker
It's become commonplace for Donald Trump to sound off on a variety of issues regardless of whether or not it makes many people uncomfortable. Since the early days of his campaign for president, the former host of "The Apprentice" has come under fire for his controversial, and often reckless, remarks. Whether it's attacks on Hollywood celebrities or the mainstream media, to targeting Democrats and even members of his own Republican Party, Trump has made it a habit to make headlines.
Earlier this week, Trump ripped into Sen. Bob Corker who has been increasingly critical of the administration since announcing his plans to retire at the end of his term. Trump accused Corker of "begging" for his endorsement, to which the senator responded by comparing the president to a child living in an "adult daycare center." The two have continued to go back and forth in their war of words, with Corker sitting down for a recent interview with the New York Times to elaborate further. As seen on his Twitter account on October 10, Trump is back in attack-mode.
The Failing @nytimes set Liddle' Bob Corker up by recording his conversation. Was made to sound a fool, and that's what I am dealing with!

During one of his several tweets on Tuesday morning, Donald Trump turned his attention back to Bob Corker who recently accused the president of pushing the United States towards "World War 3" due to his rhetoric and decision making.
"The Failing @nytimes set Liddle' Bob Corker up by recording his conversation," Trump tweeted, before adding, "Was made to sound a fool, and that's what I am dealing with!" While Trump gave the senator an insulting nickname, he misspelled "little" as "liddle"
Twitter reacts
Not long after Donald Trump's latest social media rant against Bob Corker, critics wasted no time lashing out in return.
"That failing NYTimes has their best ratings ever!! Thanks to you!" one tweet read.
I honestly don't know if you spell simple words wrong on purpose to be inflammatory, but it makes our country look weak & ignorant when you do that #Liddle

Are you really saying that Corker sounds like a fool, when you have attacked him like you are a kindergarten bully? Wake up! You are the FOOL!

"Mr IQ Genius, it's 'Little' not "Liddle,'" another Twitter user wrote, while adding, "Are you really saying that Corker sounds like a fool, when you have attacked him like you are a kindergarten bully?
Wake up! You are the FOOL!" "Liddle Bob Corker is probably going to be the reason you get Impeached. So keep attacking. Go right ahead Mr. 'Liddle Hands'" another tweet noted.
You lack insight into your own narcissism (not surprising) and you WILL get us into a war with fewer allies than we ever had before.
