Ivanka Trump has been mocked after congratulating Boris Johnson on becoming the next prime minister of the:

“United Kingston."

Jamaica?


The tweet from the US President's daughter and close adviser was up for around half an hour before being deleted, giving Twitter users plenty of time to poke fun at the mistake.

The error closely follows an error by her father Donald Trump, in which he described meeting the “Prince of Whales" during his state visit to the UK last month.

Shortly after Ms Trump's blunder, the phrase “United Kingston" was trending on Twitter in the UK.

Referencing the father-daughter gaffes, actor Angela Belcamino tweeted:

“The internet never forgets. Is the United Kingston next to Whales?"

In 2017, President Trump was mocked again for using the non-existent word “covfefe" during a late-night Twitter session in Washington.

After the typo became a national news story, he later attributed the mistake to the late hour and tweeted:

“Who can figure out the true meaning of covfefe? Enjoy!"

Later in the year, the White House released a press statement that said one of the goals of an Israel trip was to:

“promote the possibility of lasting peach."

Mr Trump avoided any typos as he congratulated Mr Johnson on his new position, posting:

“He will be great!"

The former foreign secretary was elected leader of the Conservative Party in a contest that saw him win 92,153 votes – beating Jeremy Hunt's 46,656.

He will take over the role of Prime Minister after Theresa May informs the Queen of her resignation on Wednesday.

While Ivanka's gaffe was likely just an autocorrect error, people still couldn't resist putting her through the wringer.




Awkward.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
