Melania Trump celebrated her birthday on April 26, and because they have a totally normal not-at-all strained relationship, Donald Trump hopped on Twitter to wish her a happy birthday:
Melania is 47! Her boobs are 24 and her face is 13!April 26, 2017
The thing is, Trump's tweet has a blink-and-you'll-miss-it error, which people were quick to notice. See the stars on that flag? Yeah, there are 39 of them. And last time we checked, there are 50 states in the union.
Obviously, Twitter was having none of this.
@chrislhayes Wonder which 11 states are slated for destruction? #39StarFlag https://t.co/KKkIS1ElZBApril 27, 2017
How soon before we find out a 39-star American flag is some sort of alt-right meme?April 27, 2017
And in a bizarre twist, MSNBC host Christopher Hayes noticed the flag has actually been used by Trump before:
IT'S THE SAME FLAG IN THE END OF THIS VIDEO!!!! https://t.co/jZOSS7VjNhApril 27, 2017
Which means...
Someone in the WH graphics operation has a 39-star flag saved on their computer as the current flag and is using it everything!April 27, 2017
But yes, there appears to be a JPG of a 39 star American flag floating around the West Wing. Staffers, beware. Delete that email.April 27, 2017
Prayer circle for the confused graphic designer who is responsible for this.
