The recent trend is to lash out at each other on the rival’s social pages. This includes the President and Prime Minister as well. This is President Donald Trump’s latest Twitter message.
Donald Trump has fired a Twitter broadside at Theresa May, opening an extraordinary diplomatic spat between the transatlantic allies.
“Theresa @theresamay, don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom,” the US president posted on Wednesday evening. “We are doing just fine!”
Trump’s message came in response to criticism from May’s spokesman over his retweeting of anti-Muslim videos posted by the deputy leader of a British far-right group.
However, the “@theresamay” that Trump targeted does not belong to Theresa May, the British prime minister, but a woman called Theresa Scrivener. Minutes later Trump deleted and reposted the tweet, this time with the correct handle: @Theresa_May.
The angry message, on one of the most wayward days yet of Trump’s presidency, earned a swift backlash from the US senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, who met May at Downing Street last week to discuss terrorism threats to both countries. He tweeted: “PM @theresa_may is one of the great world leaders, I have incredible love and respect for her and for the way she leads the United Kingdom, especially in the face of turbulence.”
