If Only 'Unpresidented' Were a Word, Donald Trump...

...then it might have his photo next to it in the dictionary.

The latest proof that Donald Trump can't spell is being mocked more than usual. Trump substituted "unprecedented" for "unpresidented" -- a word many now wish existed -- while trying to make a crack about China.

Trump's latest bout with his inability to use the English language is only the latest in a very long list of examples (which we've outlined for your convenience here). No one is sure what it means. Maybe it's a verb, and if Trump were unpresidented by the Electoral College on Monday, that would be truly unprecedented in our country's history.

Or maybe "unpresidented" is the new "strategery." George W. Bush was mocked as lacking actual strategy, and in this case Trump is mocked as being unpresidential.

Here's how the snickering is spreading as "unpresidented" trends on Twitter:

\u201cTrump deleted it, but not before I saved it. Freudian slip? We can all hope he, too, soon will be "unpresidented." #LearnToSpell\u201d
