President Trump's official inauguration portrait offered by the Library of Congress had a glaring typo on it, social media users pointed out Sunday evening.
The print of Trump, which was sold on the Library of Congress's website, includes a quote from the president - but misspells "too" as "to."
"No dream is too big, no challenge is to great. Nothing we want for the future is beyond our reach," the quote reads on the poster.
The page selling the print was removed Sunday evening at some point between 9:30 and 10:00 p.m.
On the original page, the Library of Congress described the print as one that "captures the essence of Donald Trump's campaign for the presidency of the United States."
Social media users were quick to point out the error.

"captures the essence of Trump's campaign"
"to great"
(Print was not made, but is sold by the Library)
The error comes after the Department of Education misspelled author and civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois's name in a tweet earlier on Sunday.

The Department of Education misspelled W.E.B. Du Bois’s name in a tweet Sunday honoring the iconic civil rights activist and author.
“Education must not simply teach work - it must teach life. — W.E.B. DeBois,” the tweet read, misspelling Du Bois’s last name.
The tweet quoting Du Bois, a prominent writer, historian and civil rights activist throughout the 1800s and 1900s, comes in the middle of Black History Month.
"'In the Days of Loose & Careless Logic, We Must Teach Thinkers to THINK.' - William Edward Burghardt DU Bois," the NAACP tweeted.

The tweet has not been deleted, but the department's official account posted a new tweet with his name spelled correctly and an apology.
Some social media users pointed out the similarities between the misspelling of Du Bois’s name and Betty DeVos’s name. She was just confirmed as Education secretary after a contentious battle in the Senate.
