He pushed the wrong button

Trump really upset Britain yesterday with his tweeting out of "Britain First" neo-fascist videos. Number 10 Downing St issued a statement saying that he should not have done it and Trump issued a nasty retort to Prime Minister Teresa May last night:

.@Theresa_May, 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!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 30, 2017

That tweet was originally aimed at a Teresa May who had 6 followers instead of the UK Prime Minister. Someone later went back and changed it.

The "other" Teresa May has been inundated with inquiries in the wake of this. She told the press:

“It's amazing to think that the world's most powerful man managed to press the wrong button,” she said, adding, “I'm just glad he was not contacting me to say he was going to war with North Korea.”

So are we all. But it just goes to show how easy it would be for him to do it.
