As Twitchy reported earlier, President Trump sat down for an interview with Fox News’ Harris Faulkner in which he said he had the greatest base in the history of politics: ‘I have people that I love and that love me,” he said.
Did we mention he said “the greatest base”?
Because Wall Street Journal White House correspondent Vivian Salama reported something else:
So did TIME’s White House correspondent, Alana Abramson.

Salama deleted her tweet, but the responses to it live on.

Looks like the transcript from Fox News was wrong, but it seems kind of obvious from the context that he was talking about his base. At least, it seemed obvious to us, but a lot of people ran with it, and their followers will go to bed still thinking he said “face.”
Hi everyone—-The Fox News transcript apparently has a typo in it. President Trump apparently said he has the greatest BASE in the history of politics, not “FACE”. I deleted my last tweet. Transcript (w/typo) attached! pic.twitter.com/7PcXLn63K5

UPDATE: Fox News sent out a corrected transcript. It was “base” not “face”… “I have the greatest BASE in the history of politics”
