Former Republican President Donald Trump was mocked online after he somehow misspelled the word "stolen" in a post on his failing social media platform Truth Social that he used to share more lies about the integrity of the 2020 general election that he lost to Democratic President Joe Biden.
Trump started out by attacking Fox News, which he says has treated him "every bit as badly as they did in 2015, before I later won the Election." He specifically called out Fox News contributor—which he spelled "contributer"—Marie Harf, whom he says "is allowed to say anything she wants without rebuttal - and others likewise."
He went on to declare that he "beat Crooked Hillary Clinton, and then beat Biden by much more," which is, of course, false. 
He said that Fox—which has in the past been criticized for its often deferential coverage of Trump and his former administration—"is afraid to say what REALLY happened in that farce of an Election" that he falsely claimed was "RIGGED AND STOLLEN." 
And yes, you read that right, he managed to misspell "stolen."
You can see Trump's post below.

Trump described the election as "stollen," which is technically a word but has a much different meaning than what he intended.

Stollen is also a traditional Christmas bread in Germany and is the subject of the city of Dresden's annual Stollenfest, which dates back to the late 1400s.
Twitter users caught Trump's error immediately and mocked him for it.

Trump has been upset with Fox News coverage at least once in the last couple of months, most notably when the network aired an anti-Trump ad titled Sucker that was created by The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump Republican Super PAC formed in December 2019 and dedicated to "Defeat President Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box."
At the time, he threatened Fox with legal action and specifically criticized Paul Ryan, the former Republican House Speaker who currently sits on the board of the Fox Corporation and who has often criticized Trump despite partnering with him on his legislative priorities.

        Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'
    
Alan Herrera
Dec 05, 2025
President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."
Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.
It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
