However, the Twitter handle that Trump targeted does not belong to the Prime Minister, but a woman called Theresa Scrivener. Trump's message came in response to criticism from May's spokesman over his re-tweeting of incendiary videos posted by the deputy leader of a British far-right group, reports the Guardian.

I’m just glad he was not contacting me to say he was going to war with North Korea,” the 41-year-old said. I’ve been bombarded and been contacted by press from around the world. I’m just waiting for a call from the White House with an apology,” said Scrivener, who has been bombarded by messages from contrite Americans apologising for their President. “It’s amazing to think that the world’s most powerful man managed to press the wrong button. His tweet, last night UK time, was a reaction to the British Prime Minister’s rebuke that the US President was “wrong” to retweet controversial anti-Muslim videos posted by British far-right group Britain First. Trump tagged that handle instead of the British Prime Minister’s handle before deleting the message to send it to the correct handle: don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. Theresa May Scrivener, who lives in the coastal town of Bognor in West Sussex, used her middle name when she set up her Twitter handle in 2009.
