Former President Donald Trump recycled one of his silliest spelling mistakes on Tuesday to recap media coverage of his ongoing hush-money trial.
In an attempt to loosely quote NBC legal analyst Laura Jarrett from earlier in the day, Trump wrote in all caps:
“NBC Today Show: ‘The challenge is there is no smocking gun, no email or tape to prove the president’s intent. They don’t have a way to prove that!!!’ Thank you to NBC Fake News, one of the worst in the business!!!”
Critics fired back at Trump’s mistake in writing “smocking” instead of “smoking.” The former president and current GOP candidate has used “smocking” from timeto time.
The repeated error prompted one X user to conclude, “He really thinks that is how it is spelled.”
Smocking is a thing, by the way ― “a decorative embroidery or shirring made by gathering cloth in regularly spaced round tucks,” according to Merriam-Webster.
Trump’s goof became an opportunity for jokesters to fire their mocking guns.

It's an apron with a gun holster. Very popular amongst chefs in Texas.

Maybe he meant 'smacking', like lightly, with a rolled up magazine? 🍊🤡

Someone tried to tell him it was spelled smoking
and he said no it isn't
then he took a black sharpie to a dictionary to prove it
so now he just keeps spelling it wrong pic.twitter.com/Cb7UPUkyqP— kj martin - Reporting & blocking all spam accts (@martin_kj) May 8, 2024
Not the first time he has spelled that way. He really thinks that is how it is spelled
