President-elect Donald Trump was on the receiving end of Ivanka Majic, whom he accidentally tweeted at instead of his own daughter who has the same name.

According to CNN, Trump had quoted a tweet praising his daughter Ivanka, but the account mentioned in the tweet belongs to Ivanka Majic, a digital consultant from the British seaside town of Brighton.

Majic responded to Trump's tweet saying, "And you're a man with great responsibilities. May I suggest more care on Twitter and more time learning about #climatechange."

Majic told CNN that she saw Trump's Twitter blunder as an opportunity.

"The interesting thing about my being dragged into a Twitter conversation with Trump is that my politics are very different than his," Majic said.

Trump tagged Majic while praising his daughter saying, "@Ivanka Trump is great, a woman with real character and class," read the tweet that Trump shared from Massachusetts chiropractor Lawrence Goodstein, whose account has since been changed to private.

Goodstein mistakenly used the handle @Ivanka, rather than @IvankaTrump and when Trump re-tweeted it to his audience of over 20 million, the message triggered a storm and it was shared more than 5,000 times, favorited over 30,000 times, and garnered over 8,000 replies.
