‘United Kingston’ Trends After Ivanka Trump Misspells ‘United Kingdom’ In Tweet Congratulating Boris Johnson
President Donald Trump isn’t the only member of the Trump family to make spelling mistakes on Twitter.
On Tuesday morning, the phrase “United Kingston” quickly began trending on social media after Ivanka Trump congratulated former London mayor Boris Johnson, who was elected Conservative party Leader in Great Britain this week, for becoming the United Kingdom’s next prime minister. In the post, the first daughter and senior White House adviser misspelled United Kingdom as “United Kingston.”
Ivanka’s tweet was eventually deleted, but it was up long enough for several users to take screenshots and turn it into a trending hashtag.
