It's starting to look like Donald Trump and his administration forgot to hire a copy editor. First, POTUS started his term with an error when he tweeted an inauguration photo with the incorrect date on it [1]. Then, the Department of Education tweeted the incorrect spelling of W.E.B. Du Bois's name [2] in a butchered attempt to revere the civil rights activist.
And now, the Library of Congress is causing quite the kerfuffle over a rather glaring mistake on Trump's official inauguration poster.

The poster, which features a photo of Trump in one of his signature red ties, has the following quote written on it: "No dream is too big, no challenge is to great. Nothing we want for the future is beyond our reach." Sounds pretty inspiring, right? But did you notice the spelling blunder? The quote seems to have omitted an "o" from the second "too." Yikes.
Although the poster has since been removed from the Library of Congress's online shop, an archived version of the listing [4] exists because the internet isn't ready to let Trump live this one down. Oh, and let's not forget all the people who used social media to share their reactions to this yuge grammatical mix-up.

For people who insist on "English-only", this Administration sure as hell butchers the written language. Sad! Make Spelling Great Again! https://t.co/nyKkwEvfUL [7]
