US President Donald Trump don cause another social media wahala as im post about Iran de-escalation for Truth Social platform carry spelling mistake wey make people dey laugh. For im post wey im write on 23 March 2026, Trump talk say “We dey try de-escalate with Iran” but im write “witch” instead of “which” for the sentence. This mistake don make many people for internet dey yarn am, even as serious matter of Iran dey ground.
The post come at time wey tension between US and Iran dey high. Iran side, Abbas Araghchi wey be senior diplomat, don declare say talks between the two countries don “over forever” after recent disagreements. But instead of people to dey focus on the serious diplomatic matter, many eyes don turn to Trump spelling error.
For the original post wey RepublicWorld newspaper report, Trump write: “We dey try de-escalate witch Iran but dem no wan hear word.” The correct spelling suppose be “which” but Trump hand don write “witch” – the word wey mean person wey dey do juju or magic for African and Western stories.
Internet users don quickly catch the mistake and begin share am everywhere. Some people dey ask if Trump mean say Iran be witch or if im just no sabi spell well. Others dey yarn say maybe na autocorrect problem, but many people dey remember say Trump don make similar spelling mistakes before for im social media posts.
This matter don overshadow the main news wey be about Iran de-escalation. Trump administration don try reduce tension with Iran after recent problems, but Iran don talk clear say dem no want any discussion again. Abbas Araghchi talk say: “This matter don finish forever. We no go talk with people wey no get respect.”
Meanwhile, for entertainment side, people still dey talk about Scarlet Witch from Marvel movies. RadioTimes don publish article about whether Scarlet Witch movie go happen, with Elizabeth Olsen wey play the role talk say Marvel films “not really the art I consume.” But this entertainment matter no connect with Trump spelling error – just coincidence say the word “witch” dey both stories.
Truth Social, the platform wey Trump dey use, don become im main place to talk to im supporters since im leave Twitter. But spelling mistakes like this one don make people dey ask questions about who dey help Trump write im posts or if im dey write am by imself.
Political analysts dey yarn say this kind mistake fit affect how people see Trump leadership, especially for international matters wey serious like Iran. But im supporters dey talk say na small thing and the main matter be the message wey im dey pass about de-escalation.
As of now, Trump no don correct the post or talk about the spelling mistake. The post still dey Truth Social with the “witch” error, and people still dey share am across different social media platforms. The White House press secretary no don comment on the matter.
This no be first time Trump go make spelling mistake for social media. Before, im don write “covfefe” wey nobody understand, and other times im don misspell country names and people names. But this “witch” mistake don catch special attention because of the serious Iran matter wey dey ground.
For Nigeria side, many people dey follow the matter with interest. Some dey yarn say if Naija politician make this kind mistake, people go laugh well well. Others dey talk say the main thing be the Iran matter wey serious, and spelling mistake no suppose make us forget the real problem wey dey between US and Iran.
The world dey watch as Iran matter dey unfold, but for now, many eyes dey on that small spelling error wey don become big talk for internet. Whether na witch or which, Trump post don give people something to yarn about as serious diplomacy dey happen for background.
