President Trump still doesn’t seem to understand global warming — and he’s having a hard time spelling it as well.

The president, whose misspellings are as legendary as his “bizarre use of quotes” and Random Capitalization, tried to stir up believers of science on Monday by mocking global warming in a tweet about the historically cold weather in the Midwest. Not only did his post exhibit the fact that he doesn’t know what global warming is — see NASA’s full explainer of weather, global warming and climate change — he proved he can’t spell it, writing “Global Waming.”

While many were kind enough to explain to the leader of the free world that climate and weather aren’t the same thing (see: National Geographic‘s Why cold weather doesn’t mean climate change is fake), others just mocked him and his misspelling, “global waming.” Among those were people from the showbiz world:

Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson replied to the prez: “Your idiocy would be hilarious if you weren’t president.”

Diane Kruger posted his tweet on Instagram with the caption: “He might ACTUALLY be the devil who can’t spell.”

Flight of the Conchords co-star Jemaine Clement said, “Amazing to think America was once a scientific leader.”

House of Cards actor Micheal Kelly posted, “Holy s***, you have said some really stupid s*** since taking office but this might go right up there in the top 3.”

Better Call Saul‘s Rhea Seehorn wasn’t having it either. “CLIMATE IS NOT THE SAME AS WEATHER!!! This is not about party or politics … this is just a simple truth that should not be diluted.”

Frances Fisher wrote: “It’s called Climate Change you a******.”

Ken Olin told him to “resign and focus on your gifts — humor and golf!”

Even “Stuttering John” Melendez weighed in.

Trump’s gaffe led many to make jokes connecting “waming” to the late great band Wham.

Of course, celebrities were just a few to comment on Trump’s eye-rolling tweet. Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan, whose state is in a deep freeze, replied, “Only a moron would not understand global warming causes huge temperature swings,” according to the Associated Press. (He has since apparently deleted it.)

In November, Trump cast doubt on a report issued by 13 federal agencies that warned of devastating effects from climate change, saying, “I don’t believe it.” During his election campaign in 2016, he called climate change a “hoax” but then backed off a bit, saying in October, “I don’t think it’s a hoax; I think there’s probably a difference.”
