Eric Trump managed to spell 'Tulsa' wrong when trying to promote his father's rally

The old saying goes that 'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree' and never has that been more true than with the children of Donald Trump.

Ahead of his highly anticipated rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the first which the president had held since the coronavirus pandemic began, Eric Trump promoted the event with a simple tweet.

Now, this event has been talked about for weeks. Not only because of it being considered to be dangerous to have so many people in one place while the pandemic is still raging but also because it was being held on Juneteenth, the day that slavery is recognised as being abolished in the US, but also because it was in Tulsa, the site of one of the worst race-related massacres in American history. With racial tensions once again heightened within the US it was probably not the best date to be holding such an event which they did swap for the day after but the location of Tulsa was still set to go ahead, despite local health officials pleading with Trump to reconsider.

With all this in mind, Tulsa should have been drilled into every member of the Trump teams minds but somehow, someway, Eric Trump managed to get it completely wrong and tweeted to his followers:

TULAS HERE WE COME!

That's right Tulas, which according to Google Maps is in West India.

Maybe those hundreds of thousands of MAGAts headed for Tulas instead.
