A zoomed-in photo of the notes that President Donald Trump brought to his fiery speech on Wednesday has revealed an embarrassing spelling mistake.

Jabin Botsford, a staff photographer at The Washington Post, captured the president holding handwritten notes that say: "Dems have no achomlishments." He likely meant "accomplishments."

Trump's address to the media Wednesday came after he walked out of a meeting with Democratic leaders on infrastructure.

At the impromptu press conference in the White House Rose Garden, he said he would not work with them until they drop their "phony investigations" into him.

House Democrats have launched a series of investigations into Trump, including his business dealings and whether he obstructed justice in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential elections.

Here's what the president's notes also said:

  • "We believe that the President of the U.S. is engaged in a cover-up" - which is a direct quote from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi earlier that day.
  • "Most transparent."
  • "They want to impeach me over acts that they did."
  • "Dems have no achomlishments [sic]."
  • "I'm going to keep working for the American people."
