Like father, like son.
President Donald Trump is well known for a Twitter typo or 10 and Donald Trump Jr. followed in his father’s footsteps Thursday with a doozie.
Trump Jr. wrote “radical” as “radicle” while attacking Georgia Democratic Senate candidates Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in this tweet:
Yikes!!! Watch out Georgia. You could end up with the two most radicle left senators in America if you don’t step up asap!!! #ga #gasen https://t.co/owFqxoqBN2
— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) December 10, 2020
It’s not the first time Trump Jr. has spelled the word wrong:
“I don’t see anyone walking into a voting booth on November 3 & voting to give up 20-30% of their income by voting for Joe Biden’s radicle tax plans. I don’t see anyone voting to get rig of US Oil & Gas and watch gas & heating prices skyrocket”

Biden wants to “transform” America to CHOP.

Open your eyes people. The radicle left runs the party and they couldn’t be more clear with their intentions. https://t.co/jZgypSRVRv
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “radicle” as “the lower part of the axis of a plant embryo or seedling” ― presumably not what Trump Jr. meant.
Twitter users predictably went to town on the president’s eldest son with other dictionary definitions and more:
rad·i·cle

LOLOL, you really can't spell radical. This is like the fourth time you've done this.
