Donald Trump launched into a spelling error-filled Twitter tirade hours after being the target of an intense salvo from Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. Angry Trump lashes out in typo-ridden Twitter tirade

Donald Trump is making typos great again.

The billionaire launched into a Twitter tirade hours after being the target of an intense salvo from Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz during Thursday night’s Republican debate — and he was “honer” roll.

His sole focus was blasting his rivals, leaving spelling a mere afterthought.

Once a choker, always a chocker:

Lightweight Marco Rubio was working hard last night. The problem is, he is a choker, and once a choker, always a chocker! Mr. Meltdown. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 26, 2016

Great honer:

Wow, every poll said I won the debate last night. Great honer! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 26, 2016

Rubio is a chocker — a leightweight chocker:

Lying Ted Cruz and leightweight chocker Marco Rubio teamed up last night in a last ditch effort to stop our great movement. They failed! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 26, 2016

Yes, you read that right — leightweight chocker:

Leightweight chocker Marco Rubio looks like a little boy on stage. Not presidential material! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 26, 2016

Rubio's director of opposition research weighed in with dripping sarcasm:

Must not have taught spelling at Trump University. Then again, con artist didn't teach anything there. https://t.co/6Xc2qrYlw9 — Joe Pounder (@PounderFile) February 26, 2016

Trump began correcting himself by 11:15 a.m., after Rubio read the misspelled tweets aloud during a rally in Dallas. Here's what Trump meant:
