‘I’m just waiting for a call from the White House with an apology.’ Britain’s ‘wrong’ Theresa May speaks out.
"LONDON — President Trump got the wrong woman, and Twitter users were there to screen-grab the evidence.
Trump’s tweet came about 1 a.m. Thursday London time, when many Brits were fast asleep. The past 24 hours had been unusual in Britain, with the U.S. president having retweeted several videos from the far-right group Britain First on Wednesday.
Taking aim at Prime Minister Theresa May’s sharp rebuke of his actions, Trump wanted May to know he was unhappy with her response. In Trump fashion, he took to Twitter to air his grievances. But he targeted the wrong Theresa May.
The Theresa May targeted by Trump turned out to be not the British prime minister but a woman named Theresa May Scrivener, who had just six Twitter followers and a protected account. Trump’s schoolboy error was met with amazement and amusement, and many Brits were left wondering, “Who in the world is Theresa May Scrivener?”
It didn't take long for eagle-eyed Twitter users to pounce on Trump’s mistake. The presidential error was captured digitally and shared within seconds. The initial tweet reads: “Theresa @theresamay, don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!” Trump's tweet was soon deleted.".
