http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/322323-merriam-webster-needles-trump-on-twitter-spelling-fumblesMerriam-Webster Dictionary poked fun at President Trump on Friday after his Twitter account repeatedly misspelled the word "hereby."
The dictionary company shared its definition for the word:
Trump repeatedly misspelled hereby in tweets Friday floating an "investigation" surrounding House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosis (D-Calif.) 2010 meeting with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, which was attended by Russian ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak.
I hear by demand a second investigation," Trump wrote in the first iteration of the tweet, which disappeared and was replaced with an identical tweet that used hearby." That tweet also disappeared and was replaced by a third one that correctly spelled the word "hereby."
Trump was widely mocked on Twitter for the mishaps.

I hereby demand a second investigation, after Schumer, of Pelosi for her close ties to Russia, and lying about it. https://t.co/qCDljfF3wN
