Tickets to President Trumps first State of the Union address contain glaring spelling error




A typo fit for a spell check-challenged President.

Members of Congress and their aides were shocked to find out that tickets to President Trump's highly-anticipated Tuesday night address say "State of the Uniom" — not "State of the Union," a senior Democratic congressional staffer told the Daily News.

Capitol Police officers will visit congressional offices Monday afternoon to give out new, correctly-spelled tickets to those members who picked up typo-ridden ones, the source said.

The Government Publishing Office, which is in charge of printing SOTU tickets, did not immediately return a request for comment.

it looks like State of the Onion, which makes sense - it stinks and makes you want to cry.

"the constitution calls for a state of the union speech! a state of the uniom speech doesn't satisfy this requirement! impeach! impeach!"

Apparently everything is done in a rush and nobody proofreads. The whole administration is sloppy and incompetent, probably because nobody with more than two brain cells to rub together will work for them.
