He knows words. He has the best words. But Donald Trump just can’t spell them.
Trump was continuing his attack on Special Counsel Robert Mueller‘s investigation this morning by tweeting a quote from Fox News about there not being a “smoking gun.”
However, when typing out the tweet, the president misspelled “smoking” twice, writing “smocking” instead each time.
“Democrats can’t find a Smocking Gun tying the Trump campaign to Russia after James Comey’s testimony. No Smocking Gun…No Collusion.” @FoxNews That’s because there was NO COLLUSION. So now the Dems go to a simple private transaction, wrongly call it a campaign contribution,…

You just can’t make this stuff up.
The “smocking” typo quickly caught the eyes of people on Twitter, for not just being the latest time Trump has used “smocking” when he meant “smoking,” but also because “smocking” is an embroidery technique.
Online jokesters, including some famous ones, couldn’t resist a poke or two.
Maybe they can't find a "Smocking" Gun, but the SMOKING Gun (Conspiracy to Violate Campaign Finance Laws for A) causing illegal corporate contributions & B) excessive personal campaign contributions) is gonna be a bitch!? #sMockingTheBestWords ?? https://t.co/09pfI8SNbe

There’s such a thing as a smocking gun? I already own a glue gun, and there are also basting guns for quilting. Does this smocking gun automatically and creatively stitch pleated fabric? I can’t wait to learn more about smocking guns. #smockingguns pic.twitter.com/kWh0mOjuH7

No Smocking, please. ???

Well, technically he’s right.
There is no smocking gun.
Because there’s no such thing as a smocking gun.
Because our president is a moron.

It literally takes extra energy to write smocking twice instead of smoking. My autocorrect keeps being like “are you sure???”
— Jiffy VVild (@jiffywild) December 10, 2018
Smoking. Smoking. Smoking. Nope. I can’t make autocorrect say “smocking” by accident. Just one more try. Smoking. Nope.

STOP THE PRESSES! Donald Trump tells the truth. In a bombshell tweet the President accurately stated that in the Russia investigation there is no smocking gun. Unfortunately for his future legal exposure, the numerous smoking guns could prove problematic.

Real convo this AM:
Me: So, #SmockingGun is trending on Twitter today.
Wife: Oh, no. What did he do now?
Me: He misspelled smoking. Twice.
10 yr-old daughter: What? That’s crazy. Even I can spell it *she spells it* Didn’t he go to school?
Me: The *best* ones. Only the best.

Only in America do we have to double-check a tweet from the “President” to see if it’s really a parody account because the content is so ridiculous. #SmockingGun
