"You know, Donald Trump gets a lot wrong, but he outdid himself today," Jimmy Kimmel said on Tuesday's Kimmel Live. "Today he became the first president of the United States ever to misspell his own name," tweeting that Google "boosted negative stories on Donald Ttump." Kimmel laughed and suggested this is what happens when your thumbs are covered in dipping sauce. "But how can you misspell your name when it's on your building, it's on your golf courses, it's on your vodka, your water, all the casinos you bankrupted — it's everywhere!" he said.

If Sarah Huckabee Sanders were still press secretary, Kimmel speculated, "she would be out on the White House lawn shouting that his name is and always has been Donald Ttump, and we just were too Fake News to know it."

"I can't believe this hadn't happened already, but in a tweet this morning, Trump misspelled his own name," Jimmy Fallon said at The Tonight Show. "Donald Ttump — when Don Jr. saw that, he was like, 'I can't believe I've been spelling it wrong this whole time!'" And when staffers told the president he'd misspelled his name, Fallon added, "he tweeted this: 'Sorry, I meant to say Ddnald Ttump.'"

I was hoping one of the top comments was a TL;DR, but none were, so I stopped being lazy for your benefit:

After accidentally throwing away a shoebox containing his life savings, a man in Ashland, Oregon, crossed his fingers and hoped that workers at a recycling facility would somehow manage to discover it among the tons of cardboard, glass, and aluminum.

The man tossed the shoebox containing $23,000 into his recycling bin on Thursday morning, and realized his mistake later in the day. By that time, his recycling had already been dumped into a truck headed for California. He made a few calls and discovered that his recycling was now at a Recology facility in the Humboldt County city of Samoa.
