‘The internet never forgets’: Twitter pokes fun at Ivanka Trump for congratulating Boris Johnson as new Prime Minister of United 'Kingston’
Like father, like daughter.
When tweeting out her congratulations to Boris Johnson, the newly-elected prime minister of the U.K., Ivanka Trump mistakenly wrote “United Kingston” instead of “United Kingdom” in her message.
Although the original tweet has since been deleted and the first daughter posted a new message with the correct spelling, the internet isn’t letting Ivanka live it down.
Some people have reposted screenshots of the White House senior adviser’s original tweet with the spelling error to poke fun, prompting “United Kingston” to trend on Twitter.

The marvellous thing about becoming the PM of the United Kingston, no matter how sincere or credulous, is that it is an Empire upon which the Sun will never set, especially having never existed in the first place. pic.twitter.com/OkeuRZu1by

Could be the last Prime Minister of United Kingston as well. The fragile peace between the Oceana Ski Lodge and Tokyo Karaoke bars will not survive this. pic.twitter.com/38SXWNdJ6c

You know, the irony is Boris Johnson probably would be a good MP for the United Kingston. https://t.co/nLjEsmKVnb

Like father, like daughter. Although I wish Johnson was the next prime minister of the United Kingston

Sadly, Ivanka Trump has deleted tweet congratulating Boris Johnson on becoming Prime Minister of the United Kingston. There was a fleeting hope that last few weeks had all been a misunderstanding & Johnson had been a candidate for a hitherto obscure municipal post in SW London.

Twitter users also jokingly compared the mistake to President Trump’s tweet praising the “Prince of Whales” in June. People online are calling on the White House to try using spell check more often.

Ivanka sends her congratulations to the Prime Minister of the United “Kingston” shortly after Trump praised the Prince of “Whales.” These people are so utterly incompetent and embarrassing even on the smallest stuff. pic.twitter.com/Q5c6v00YYv

The tweet comes after Boris Johnson was elected the leader of the Conservative Party over opponent Jeremy Hunt. The pro-Brexit politician is set to replace Theresa May as Britain’s prime minister and will be brokering a deal for U.K.’s exit from the European Union.
President Trump, who has been a vocal supporter of Boris Johnson, also tweeted out his congratulations to the incoming United Kingdom Prime Minister — correctly.
Congratulations to Boris Johnson on becoming the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He will be great!
