President Donald Trump tweeted a tribute to former first lady Barbara Bush on Tuesday night, one that contained a glaring error.

His tweet about Bush, who died on Tuesday at 92, included a statement that was incorrectly dated April 17, 2017 — not 2018. Trump deleted the statement (which was released by the White House Office of the Press Secretary) two hours later, and substituted it with this post that had the date cropped out:

.@FLOTUS Melania and I join the Nation in celebrating the life of Barbara Bush: pic.twitter.com/4OW72iddQx — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 18, 2018

Unsurprisingly, the blunder did not go unnoticed:

As President Trump celebrates how Barbara Bush emphasized the importance of literacy, the White House puts the wrong date on its statement. The year is 2018, not 2017. pic.twitter.com/31NEHBuJeo — Matt Viser (@mviser) April 18, 2018

When you care so much that you can't even bother to have the correct year on an official White House statement. https://t.co/1efTrXHTmB — Eugene V. Belitsky (@Jhenya_Belitsky) April 18, 2018

Donald Trump just posted a statement about the passing of Barbara Bush. It has the wrong year on it. Is there anything this idiot can’t screw up? — Palmer Report (@PalmerReport) April 18, 2018

ATTENTION: Office of the Press Secretary we are in the year "2018"https://t.co/aSWM5KLA1h — 👠🏈🇺🇸PatsGirl™🌊💙✊🏻💋💄😘💕☮️🧘‍♀️🕊️🌈💥🗽♀️ (@PatsGirlUSA) April 18, 2018

Trump got the year wrong in his Barbara Bush condolence statement, saying it’s 2017. I just hope he doesn’t screw up the anniversary of 9/10. — Alec Sulkin (@thesulk) April 18, 2018

Look at the date. 2017!

You idiot! https://t.co/xMP4PZo9GX — Kanisha J (@KaniJJackson) April 18, 2018

April 17, 2017. You really do hire the best people. It wouldn't be a Whitehouse press release without an error. https://t.co/t08K5oYuAc — Winson 'Year of the Dog' Wong 黃永傳 🍯 (@wincewong) April 18, 2018

Donald J Trump it's 2018 you moron.



Your statement from the White House says 2017.



I can't believe how stupid this administration is. This is disgraceful. https://t.co/vbyXEVVU6g — Johnathan Ford (@SignRealLiberal) April 18, 2018
