His deleted message was screengrabbed.
After Donald Trump's decision to retweet three messages from Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of far-right group Britain First, Downing Street responded by condemning the actions of the US president.
In a statement, the British Government said: "It is wrong for the President to have done this. Britain First seeks to divide communities through their use of hateful narratives which peddle lies and stoke tensions. They cause anxiety to law-abiding people. British people overwhelmingly reject the prejudiced rhetoric of the far right, which is the antithesis of the values which this country represents: decency, tolerance, and respect" it said.
Since this statement was released, Trump continued his streak of conducting diplomacy on Twitter by sending the following message - since deleted.
In case you're wondering, the account @theresamay belongs to a woman named Theresa Scrivener and she only has six followers.

Twenty minutes later, Trump realised that his original message was sent to the wrong person and tweeted again. This time, tagging the Prime Minister's actual account.

Despite this recent criticism from government and opposition politicians in the U.K., Trump’s invitation for a state visit to Britain has not yet been revoked.
