Unfortunately, the internet quickly caught on to some of Trump’s spelling errors in the tweet, including misspelling Baldwin’s first name as “Alex.” Naturally, viewers in for the Baldwin-Trump ride had plenty to say about their ongoing spat. Here’s [the corrected tweet,](https://twitter.com/meridithmcgraw/status/969528704291561473) in which the name “Alec” and verb “dying” have been adjusted with the accurate spelling.
