Donald Trump accidentally tagged a “lifelong Leeds United fan” who describes himself as an “occasionally confused and continually demented self opinionated tit” in a Twitter rant today.
Posting this morning Donald Trump said: “This is why @FoxNews daytime and weekend daytime have lost their ratings. They are abysmal having (Mayor Pete of Indiana’s most unsuccessful city, by far!) on more than Republicans.”
But rather than tagging Pete Buttigieg, an American politician who is referred to by the fictitious mascot Alfred E. Neuman, he tagged the account of a humble Yorkshireman.
People were quick to spot the blunder, with one person saying: “You tagged a random Leeds United fan from England. Can you kind of retract this or something?”
Another Twitter user added: “Did you tag a random Leeds fan because you saw the ‘Leeds would’ve taken more’ memes and want them for your rallies?”
This is why @FoxNews daytime and weekend daytime have lost their ratings. They are abysmal having @alfredenewman1 (Mayor Pete of Indiana’s most unsuccessful city, by far!) on more than Republicans. Many great alternatives are forming & exist. Try @OANN & @newsmax, among others! https://t.co/ewHE8GBRNy

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
