Yahoo News Oops! Donald Trump tags wrong Ivanka on Twitter
Donald Trump accidentally sent out a tweet celebrating a former Labour party employee from Brighton, Ivanka Majic, instead of his daughter, Ivanka Trump.
On Monday night, the President-elect tweeted a message out to his 20.1 million followers, in which he accidentally tagged @Ivanka (his daughter's Twitter handle is @IvankaTrump). He was quoting user Lawrence Goodstein (otherwise known as @drgoodspine – but who has since disabled his account) in his tweet.
"@drgoodspine: @realDonaldTrump @Ivanka Trump is great, a woman with real character and class."

According to The Independent, Ivanka Majic is a researcher at Brighton and Hove City Council and the Labour Party's former acting director of digital, with just over 3,500 Twitter followers.
Ivanka Trump, in comparison, has 2.74 million followers on the social media platform.
The tweet was in response to a CNN special programme on the President-elect's daughter, which Donald had criticised earlier in the evening.
At 9:00 P.M. @CNN, of all places, is doing a Special Report on my daughter, Ivanka. Considering it is CNN, can't imagine it will be great!
