Trump Accidentally Attacked An Australian Broadcaster. It Had The Cutest Clapback.
Australia’s national broadcaster had the cutest comeback for Donald Trump after the president mistakenly tagged it in an attack on Twitter.
Trump on Monday poured cold water on the report that he’d spent 30 hours being interviewed by ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos for the special edition of “20/20” titled “President Trump ― 30 Hours” that aired Sunday.
But he tagged the wrong ABC in his tweet and inadvertently directed his ire toward the Australian Broadcasting Corporation:
.@FoxNews Polls are always bad for me. They were against Crooked Hillary also. Something weird going on at Fox. Our polls show us leading in all 17 Swing States. For the record, I didn’t spend 30 hours with @abcnews, but rather a tiny fraction of that. More Fake News @BretBaier

Australia’s ABC took the case of mistaken identity well and replied with this GIF:
G'day! As much as we appreciate the shout-out, we think you meant @ABC? pic.twitter.com/GYwZKRVuya

Its response went viral and wags online described it as “Gold!” and “koala-tee.”

Well played Australia, but for reals how did America’s ABC News drop the ball and not get the twitter account first? https://t.co/wkRWWXX91I
