Donald Trump mocked over Twitter error

US President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday deleted and rewrote a tweet after receiving several criticism on social media for bad spelling.

Trump had initially posted a Tweet accusing CNN of reporting "ridiculous" fake news, saying he has nothing to do the with his television show, the Apprentice, where he misspelled the word ridiculous as "rediculous".

Following social media backlash, Trump reissued the Tweet correcting his mistake.

"Reports by @CNN that I will be working on The Apprentice during my Presidency, even part time, are ridiculous & untrue - FAKE NEWS!" he wrote in the corrected tweet.

One Twitter user with the Twitter handle @JoelNihlean, in response to Trump's error, tweeted;

"Are they still rediculous, too as per the original tweet?"
