Twitter mocks Trump lawyer for ‘Predisent’ typo

Social media users tore into President Trump’s personal lawyer Thursday after he released a statement that referred to President Trump as “Predisent Trump.”

Marc Kasowitz sent out the statement before delivering it at the National Press Club in response to former FBI Director James Comey’s Senate testimony Thursday.

“I am Marc Kasowitz, Predisent Trump’s personal lawyer,” the first line of the statement read.

{mosads}Twitter users quickly pointed out the error, with many people joking that the typo was actually a legal ploy:

Typo in the first line: “Predisent.” They’re not running the tightest ship over there. https://t.co/6cQV7Xe7AC

Kasowitz blasted Comey in his statement for leaking memos about his conversations with Trump to the press. He also denied Comey’s statements that Trump asked for Comey’s loyalty and to end the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
