The president eventually deleted the tweet and replaced it a few hours later with the proper spelling of the homophone — so "council" became "counsel": Don McGahn is White House Counsel.

The ever sassy online presence of Merriam-Webster took the president's mistake as a teachable moment.

A quick online search brings up the Wikipedia page for White House Counsel. No WH Council page exists — yet. A parody page is sure to pop up soon, which will only confuse Trump more the next time these words come up again.

The people at Merriam-Webster weren't the only ones to notice the mistake. Plenty of others tweeted about it immediately, and some even commiserated.
