Here's what Mr Trump had tweeted:
At 4:05pm ET POTUS tweeted, then deleted this statement, encouraging the nation to... #heel. pic.twitter.com/0AWsxFY0st

The tweet was deleted and reposted like this:
Update: At 4:34pm ET POTUS reposted earlier statement changing "decade" to "decades" and again calling on the nation to #heel. pic.twitter.com/HiOyrDxaXn

He eventually corrected the spelling of the word 'heal' and tweeted again:
Our great country has been divided for decades. Sometimes you need protest in order to heal, & we will heal, & be stronger than ever before!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 19, 2017
Twitter has since gone into overdrive tweeting about the typo, reacting pretty much the same way when Mr Trump accidentally tweeted the word 'covfefe'.
Among those mocking Mr Trump is none another Merriam-Webster dictionary.
heal (to become healthy again)
- Merriam-Webster (@MerriamWebster) August 19, 2017
heel (a contemptible person)
he'll (he will)
The tweet has collected over 40,000 'likes' and more than 15,000 retweets so far - and still counting.
Meanwhile, several others are tweeting about the heel-heal fiasco.
In his latest tweet, Trump commands America to heel.
