President-elect mistakenly retweets praise for council worker from England with same first name as his daughter
A council worker from Brighton, whom Donald Trump mistook on Twitter for his own daughter, has urged the president-elect to face up to his responsibilities and learn more about climate change.
Trump quoted a praiseworthy tweet directed to him by Lawrence Goodstein, a Twitter user in Seekonk, Massachusetts, that described his daughter Ivanka as a woman with real character and class late on Monday.
But Goodstein had mistakenly put @Ivanka, not @IvankaTrump not a significant mistake in light of Goodsteins 160-odd followers, but of far greater consequence circulated by Trump to his 20.1 million.
So Trumps shout-out was instead directed to Ivanka Majic, a council worker from Brighton, England, who used to work for the opposition Labour party, whose number of Twitter followers doubled overnight.
Majic has taken advantage of her moment on the global stage by urging Trump to both take more care in his tweets and accept the scientific consensus about man-made climate change, which Trump challenged during his campaign.

(7,632 posts)You'd think he'd have his real daughter's feed coming to him automatically.

(45,433 posts)So some regular dude mistakenly put the wrong hashtag on his tweet and Donald retweeted it like an idiot. Dude should know his own last name was missing.
It's not as bad as I thought it would be when I clicked on this.
Good that Ivanka Majic took advantage this moment to challenge him on climate change and science.

(268,968 posts)He does not pay attention to detail - that is frightening
IronLionZion
(45,433 posts)that's the story of his life, his policies, his campaign was sorely lacking in any details about any of his grand master plans.
And people still voted for him.
