Millionaire president-elect Donald Trump tweeted at @Ivanka, but that ain’t his daughter. Even better, Ivanka Majic smacked him down for good measure.
A woman from Brighton who was mistaken for Ivanka Trump on Twitter by none other than the US President-elect himself has told the BBC it has been a surreal start to the day. Ivanka Majic, a digital consultant, said she and her husband were woken at 06:00 by calls from the media.
Just imagine the wonderful mistakes he’ll make as president!
Trump has a habit of manually quoting praise on Twitter rather than simply retweeting it like a normal narcissist would. The result is that Twitter’s system presents the quote as being authored by Trump himself, allowing his account to benefit from whatever systematic and organic propagation occurs. So while he didn’t write the original mistake, he manually repeated it out of ignorance or plain disinterest in fixing it.
Ivanka Trump is @IvankaTrump on twitter.
