Donald Trump goofs up again, tweets 138 million people dead in Sri Lankan blasts

Washington: Known for his gaffes, US President Donald Trump yet again committed a faux pas on Sunday as he erroneously wrote that “138 million people” were killed in a string of blasts in Sri Lanka.

The US leader, however, erroneously wrote that “138 million people” were killed in the attacks instead of just 138. “Heartfelt condolences from the people of the United States to the people of Sri Lanka on the horrible terrorist attacks on churches and hotels that have killed at least 138 million people and badly injured 600 more. We stand ready to help!” Trump said in a tweet which was taken down after more than 20 minutes. Trump’s remarks did not go unnoticed as the agile twitterati started poking fun at the appalling tweet.
