Make America 'Heel' Again: Trump's 'Typos' Shook Twitter and It May Never Heal

In an attempt to address activists in Boston on August 19, US president Donald Trump twice lost a battle to spellcheck on Twitter after he mistakenly wrote that the country needs protest in order to "heel" - and didn't go unnoticed.

Following the Free Speech rally and counterprotest in Boston over the weekend, Mr. Trump took to Twitter to call on all Americans to come together. His tweet read:

"Our great country has been divided for decade, but it will come together again. Sometimes protest is needed in order to heel, and heel we will."

The message got quickly removed. Trump's second attempt about 30 minutes later had "for decade" changed to "for decades," but once again the word "heel" slipped through the cracks. Eventually, Trump managed to get rid of the spelling curse when he tweeted an edited message. The whole spelling gaffe — as expected — caused a storm on Twitter. After all, it's not the first time the US president puzzles social media users with his posts.
