Trump is surrounded by Marines. That didnt stop him from mistakenly tweeting Marine Core.

As President Trump’s chief of staff, retired Marine Corps Gen. John F. Kelly is the core of White House operations.

The spelling distinction was all Trump had to remember when he tweeted about his visit to a Marine installation outside San Diego on Tuesday.

“It was my great honor to deliver a message at the Marine Core Air Station Miramar to our GREAT U.S. Military,” Trump wrote in a tweet that misspelled “Corps.”

that this administration has made partisan political points during a speech to the US military. I can't understand why a bigger deal isn't made of it.

Making a mistake is one thing. Being totally ignorant of the correct spelling is quite another.
