Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and Stephen Colbert mock 'Donald Ttump' for misspelling his own name
"You know, Donald Trump gets a lot wrong, but he outdid himself today," Jimmy Kimmel said on Tuesday's Kimmel Live. "Today he became the first president of the United States ever to misspell his own name," tweeting that Google "boosted negative stories on Donald Ttump." Kimmel laughed and suggested this is what happens when your thumbs are covered in dipping sauce. "But how can you misspell your name when it's on your building, it's on your golf courses, it's on your vodka, your water, all the casinos you bankrupted — it's everywhere!" he said.
If Sarah Huckabee Sanders were still press secretary, Kimmel speculated, "she would be out on the White House lawn shouting that his name is and always has been Donald Ttump, and we just were too Fake News to know it."
"I can't believe this hadn't happened already, but in a tweet this morning, Trump misspelled his own name," Jimmy Fallon said at The Tonight Show. "Donald Ttump — when Don Jr. saw that, he was like, 'I can't believe I've been spelling it wrong this whole time!'" And when staffers told the president he'd misspelled his name, Fallon added, "he tweeted this: 'Sorry, I meant to say Ddnald Ttump.'"

"I wasn't sure who 'Donald Ttump' was, so I googled him, and it said he was a ttorible tacist who shouldn't be ptesident," Stephen Colbert joked at The Late Show. And that wasn't even Trump's only Google-related typo — he also tweeted Tuesday that Google wants to "make sure Trump losses," Colbert said, and he ran with it, in Trump voice: "Google does terrible things to me — they want me to loss, but I'm no losser, I'm going to wine, because I've always been a whiner. We're going to whine so much you're going to get sick of all the whining." Watch below. Peter Weber
