'United Kingston' trends after Ivanka Trump misspells 'United Kingdom' in congratulatory tweet

The "United Kingston" trended Tuesday morning after a tweet from White House adviser Ivanka Trump's account misspelled "United Kingdom."

The misspelling occurred in a tweet congratulating Boris Johnson for becoming the UK's next prime minister.

The tweet has since been deleted, but not before several re-posted screenshots of the message.

Several reporters and other social media users knocked Trump about the mistake.

I always liked the Kingston Trio, but I highly doubt she's ever heard of them.

Honestly, that family could add up their combined IQ's and still not hit double digits.
