The United States President Donald Trump and social media never go hand in hand. After the infamous covfefe tweet, POTUS this time has created another blunder. Trump misspelt his wife's name while thanking everyone for their wishes as she was hospitalised for kidney treatment. Trump took to Twitter saying, "Great to have our incredible first lady back home in the White House. Melanie is feeling and doing really well. Thank you for all of your prayers and best wishes!"
Although the tweet was immediately deleted, it couldn't miss the eyes of Twitterati. Social media users were quick to point out the glaring error and screenshots of the tweet went viral in no time. Hundreds of tweets joked how Melanie was Trump's wife nobody knew about.
Here is Donald Trump's original tweet:

The White House later said that Mrs Trump returned to the White House after a successful kidney procedure. Hashtag and Google Search results for the word Melani saw a drastic increase and all Mealnies of the world were shockingly surprised. Many of them took to social media expressing happiness that it was not about it.
I’ve never wished I had a different name until now #melanie 😝

You know.... I've worried about one day seeing my name trending on Twitter. I'm glad that today when it finally happened, it's because I wasn't the one who did something stupid. #Melanie pic.twitter.com/gQTaQJOMzx

See, the sad thing about this is, his phone should have "Melania" saved in autocorrect if he used it often enough. Run, girl. #Melanie pic.twitter.com/PsgsyNaXru
