President-elect Donald Trump kicked off his Saturday morning complaining about the seizure of an American underwater drone by the Chinese only to have everyone ridicule him for coining the word “unpresidented” — which some called a Freudian slip.

Addressing the taking of the boat, Trump tweeted: “China steals United States Navy research drone in international waters – rips it out of water and takes it to China in unpresidented (sic) act.”

An hour and a half later, Trump or one of his minions deleted the unpresidential tweet — but not before it was screen-grabbed:

"Unpresidented" isn't a word but if it was, I think I know what it would mean.

He just spews stream-of-unconsciousness masturbatory ejaculations. And his worshipers pretend he has actually said something cogent and of import.

Sorry, but that's how it works now.

"First, how do you spell <add any word>. And the follow up - what's your second guess?"

Thank you, American idiots!
