'Wrong' Theresa May Who Trump Tweeted To Now Wants Apology

A British woman, who President Donald Trump tweeted to wrongly Wednesday night instead of the British prime minister, has asked for an apology from the White House, reports said Thursday.

Trump launched an attack on British Prime Minister Theresa May on Twitter on Wednesday after she criticised him for sharing far-right videos on social media. In his first attempt, the president went after the wrong Theresa May.

His first tweet tagging the 'wrong' Theresa May, which was subsequently deleted, in reply to the Prime Minister calling his retweets of Britain First (far-right group) "wrong", read: "@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!"

The president retweeted three anti-Muslim hate videos shared on Twitter by a far-right group — Britain First — Wednesday. Even May, who was previously reluctant to criticize Trump, rebuked him after his actions. "It is wrong for the president to have done this," her spokesperson said.

The Twitter handle "@theresamay" is used by a 41-year-old woman who lives in Bognor, on the south coast of England, named Theresa Scrivener. The British prime minister's handle is "@Theresa_May."

Scrivener, who has just seven Twitter followers, was asleep when the tweet was sent, she said, waking up to countless messages bombarding her phone at 4 a.m. EST when she became a part of an international media turmoil.

"I was in bed by half 10 last night and oblivious to it all. I'm just waiting for a call from the White House with an apology," she said. "It's amazing to think that the world's most powerful man managed to press the wrong button ... I'm just glad he was not contacting me to say he was going to war with North Korea," she said.

"He needs to think before he tweets ... We — Theresa May and I — are so different. Our profiles are completely different. She runs the country, I'm a mum from Bognor," the Telegraph reported.

"It has been very surreal. I am laughing about it now but he is the one who sent the tweet and I have been inundated with calls. "I haven't been able to leave my house. I've been bombarded and been contacted by press from around the world," Scrivener continued.

She also stated that she was not going to change her name because of this, adding: "Why should I? It's my name, I'm not going to change it. I hope now I've said my piece I will be left alone," she added.
