Current Trump tweet incorrectly spells Somalia as "Somolia"



My thoughts and prayers are with the families of our serviceman who was killed and his fellow servicemen who were wounded in Somolia. They are truly all HEROES.

Compared to losing him, it is trivial.

And while it is a painful illustration of how careless and thoughtless Trump is even in the gravest and most somber moments, it pales in comparison to the fact that this person is lost forever.
