“United Kingston” Trends After Ivanka Trump’s Tweet Error
Jul 25, 2019
Boris Johnson was declared the leader of the Conservative party and he will be the next prime minister of the United Kingdom. However, “United Kingston” dominated the hashtags on twitter because of a spelling mistake made by Ivanka Trump.
While congratulating the former British Foreign Secretary, the White House advisor misspelled the country’s name. Although she deleted the tweet quickly but it was too late and screenshots of the error already started doing rounds on social media.

There were a series of memes and jokes, with many people talking about how US President Donald Trump recently addressed Prince Charlesas ‘Prince of Whales’ and other spelling mistakes he had made. Social media users were also quick to catch spelling mistakes.
to be fair to ivanka, kingston’s population is much nearer in size to the number of people who voted for boris than the UK’s so it’s an easy mistake to make pic.twitter.com/YRTGanqZG6

Ivanka sends her congratulations to the Prime Minister of the United “Kingston” shortly after Trump praised the Prince of “Whales.” These people are so utterly incompetent and embarrassing even on the smallest stuff. pic.twitter.com/Q5c6v00YYv

Ivanka Trump congratulated Boris “the British Trump” Johnson for his election as “the next Prime Minister of the United Kingston.” The entire island of Jamaica and daddy’s nemesis, the “Prince of Whales” are not pleased. #UnitedKingston pic.twitter.com/IOmiBkAlR0

Sorry Bob Marley, but now Boris will be next PM of United Kingston. He will be ruling two countries at once. Thanks to Ivanka Trump.
