Ivanka Trump salutes Johnson as new PM of 'United Kingston'
Like father, like daughter.
Ivanka Trump congratulated British lawmaker Boris Johnson for his imminent appointment as prime minister of the United Kingdom ― with a Twitter typo.
The daughter of the president ― who himself is well known for spelling mistakes on his favorite social media platform ― wrote “United Kingston” instead of United Kingdom.

It follows President Donald Trump’s similarly embarrassing gaffe last month, when he called Prince Charles the “Prince of Whales” instead of the Prince of Wales following a state visit to the U.K.

Ivanka Trump later deleted her misspelled tweet and replaced it one with the name of the country spelled correctly. But not before her error was immortalized online:
Apparently United "Kingston" has a new prime minister!
A month ago her dad praised the Prince of “Whales.” It runs in the family...#BoJo#IvankaTrump#BorisDaypic.twitter.com/TTHjyAJ5UN— Gerry Stergiopoulos (@GerryGreek) July 23, 2019
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

Given the courage the UK government has recently shown with the US administration, I expect the country's name to change soon to reflect this typo: https://t.co/9mNlPizqXV

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.
