Despite mashing his fingers against his phone enough times to compose 36,000 tweets, President Donald Trump continues to be really bad at Twitter.

Trump fired shots in his favorite manner at U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May Wednesday night after May criticized Trump for posting anti-Muslim propaganda to his account. Just as a reminder, the U.K. is one of the United States' closest allies.

"Theresa @theresamay, don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!" he tweeted to his 43.6 million followers.

The account @theresamay belongs to a woman named Theresa Scrivener, who has a total of just six followers. Her account was thankfully set to private.

May's real account is @theresa_may. Sure, it's an easy mistake to make, but when you're bickering like a child with the prime minister of another nation, maybe make sure you tag the right account before smashing that send button?

Trump corrected the tweet 20 minutes later.
