Hey, it happens. Sometimes you are just so wound up about something that you fire up the ole Twitter machine, express your feelings, and send it out to the masses… tagging the completely wrong person.
Heck, it’s even happened to our own President, Donald Trump, when he meant to tag his own wife.
Being on the wrong end of those tweets, however, that’s quite a unique experience.
Just ask the people mistaken on Twitter for Kyle Lowry, Eric Weddle, Michael Cohen, Ben Roethlisberger, Aaron Gordon, Jon Jones, Dee Ford, Zane Gonzalez, Chris Conte, and Zion Williamson.
Tweetin’ ain’t easy, folks.
On Tuesday, U.S. Women’s National Team star Megan Rapinoe took a shot at the aforementioned President Trump, saying, “I’m not going to the f**king White House. We’re not going to be invited. [Trump] tries to avoid inviting a team that might decline. Or, like he did when the Warriors turned him down, he’ll claim they hadn’t been invited in the first place.”
So, naturally, because it’s what he does, The Donald took to Twitter to fire back.
“Women’s soccer player, Megan Rapinoe just stated that she is ‘not going to the F…ing White House if we win'” he tweeted. “Other than the NBA, which now refuses to call owners, owners (please explain that I just got Criminal Justice Reform passed, Black unemployment is at the lowest level in our Country’s history, and the poverty index is also best number EVER), leagues and teams love coming to the White House.
“I am a big fan of the American Team, and Women’s Soccer, but Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job! We haven’t yet……..invited Megan or the team, but I am now inviting the TEAM, win or lose. Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team. Be proud of the Flag that you wear. The USA is doing GREAT!”
Go, Donny, go Donny. One problem though. He once again tagged the wrong person. Whoops.
Rather than shy away, the “other” Megan decided to lean into all this newfound attention.
and she was right to say so cry me a river plus this isn’t even her acc https://t.co/gKQnfclIUZ

Once alerted to the faux pas, Trump just deleted his tweets and re-posted them to the correct person.
