It's the afternoon of a day ending with "y,anthony bourdain cause of death auto-eroticism" so you know Donald Trump has offended someone already.
Look no further than Trump's Fox News interview with Chris Wallace. A clip from that interview went viral earlier on Sunday when Wallace asked the president to respond to comments by Bill McRaven, the former Navy SEAL who oversaw the operation the ended in the death of Osama Bin Laden.
SEE ALSO: Jimmy Kimmel has a better version of that wild 'Trumpy Bear' adMcRaven had previously criticized Trump's frequent attacks against the media -- specifically, his characterization of the press as "the enemy of the people" -- as "the greatest threat to democracy" he's ever witnessed. The former SEAL spoke up again in August after Trump's apparently punitive revocation of former CIA director John Brennan's security clearance.
Before Wallace could even get his McRaven question out -- he only got as far as detailing the man's record of service -- Trump interrupted: "Hillary Clinton fan."
Wallace tried to continue, but Trump interrupted him again, an angry edge in his voice: "Excuse me. Hillary Clinton fan."
Wallace continued again and finished his question. Trump responded, first by describing McRaven as a "backer" of Clinton and Barack Obama and then by hinting that McRaven is incompetent, saying "wouldn't it have been nice if we got Osama Bin Laden a lot sooner than that?"
(It went even further than that. And this was after he boasted about how much he's supposedly done for the military.)

Trump summarily dismissed a literal U.S. hero's service to the country because he couldn't take a little criticism. He also seemingly made up McRaven's political leanings. The ill-advised comments prompted some outcry, as you might imagine.

You get the idea.
A few hours later, as the noise around Trump's comments to Wallace turned into a thunderous roar, the beleaguered president took to Twitter and dropped this turd of a tweet. (Pun definitely intended.)

He's talking about Adam Schiff, the U.S. Representative for California who is currently the Ranking Member of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. As the top Democrat in the House of Representatives charged with investigating Russia's involvement in the 2016 election, Schiff has been a thorn in Trump's side and a semi-frequent target of the president's rage.
And yes, his name is Schiff. Two Fs. Not what Trump wrote.
Now, it could be a typo. The letters T and F are fairly close to one another on the standard QWERTY keyboard that most smartphones employ. Trump farts out so many tweets on a daily basis, he could have easily punched in the wrong letters.
Or maybe it's an autocorrect issue. Is the president secretly a fan of the Canadian comedy series, Schitt's Creek? It could be that he's texted about it enough that "Schitt" comes up as an autocorrect suggestion.
Of course, given Trump's rep, both as president and as a human being, the most likely explanation is he committed an intentional typo in the name of juvenile humor. Which, hey, nothing against juvenile humor. But it's maybe not the right tone to employ publicly when you're the U.S. president, especially when you're using it in the context of a comment that some might construe as an obstruction of justice.
Of course, that kind of ridiculous behavior from a grown-ass adult wouldget people talking about something other than Trump's egregious put-down of a largely apolitical military veteran's service.
But what do I know? Maybe it was a typo, or an unwanted autocorrect. As Mashable's Matt Binder quipped in Slack when we talked about this whole episode, "hard to tell with our very smart 150-dimensional chess playing president."
Indeed.
Still, social media did its thing and assumed Trump was acting with the worst intentions. In fairness to social media, there's a lot of evidence to suggest that's the safe assumption. Brace yourself for Trump burns and poop puns. Even Schiff joined in to take his shot.
