A spelling error on Donald Trump’s Facebook page has sparked tongue-in-cheek concerns that the US president is planning to reintroduce child labor in the US.
A video containing clips of Trump speaking at his rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa this week, included the caption: “And we are putting our minors back to work.”

Trump was referring to creating jobs for coal miners after declaring that he was “ending the war on clean beautiful coal.”
