Trump tasked military to fix misspelling of Melania's name in his social media posts

President Donald Trump revealed that he had tasked the U.S. military with fixing the misspelling of his wife's name in his social media posts.

At a Wednesday event for military mothers, Trump realized that one attendee had a name similar to his wife's.

"I love the name Melody because for a long time, you know, they have spell correct and word correct on these crazy machines that we use to put out truths, or they used to be called tweets," the president observed. "And every time I wrote Melania, it would be corrected to Melody. So I do think, and I work very fast, very fast, blah, blah, blah, blah, and I talk about it, and I say, and Melania is fantastic, and happy Mother's Day, Melania, our great first lady, Melania, but it would spell correct and word correct to Melody."

"And sometimes I wouldn't proofread it, and I'd say, hmm, and I would get just absolutely decimated. These people would decimate," he continued. "They said he didn't know the name of his wife. He keeps calling her [Melody]. And I said, what the hell is wrong with this machine?"

Trump admitted he was unaware of his phone's autocorrect feature.

"I got that corrected eventually," he explained. "You know who corrected? The military. I said, come here. You got to correct this. You're killing me. I took more abuse."

"She's been called Melody a lot. Anyway, I had to explain it to you this way. I stood up here to explain it to you. I apologize," Trump said, motioning to his wife.
