LONDON — US President-elect Donald Trump wanted to praise his daughter on Twitter — instead he has accidentally sent his message to another Ivanka.
Mr Trump retweeted a message from a Twitter user that said his daughter was “great, a woman with real character and class”.
But the user tagged the wrong Ivanka, a mistake repeated by Mr Trump — and the message was directed to a woman named Ivanka Majic in Brighton, southern England.
The tweet quickly gained attention, with thousands of retweets and favourites overnight on Tuesday (Jan 17).
Ms Majic replied to Mr Trump on Tuesday, saying on Twitter: “And you’re a man with great responsibilities. May I suggest more care on Twitter and more time learning about climate change.” AP
