https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/nov/30/theresamay-trump-twitter-tirade<snip>
When Donald Trump pressed send on a tweet to @theresamay, he thought he had aimed it at the prime minister of one of Washingtons closest allies. He wrote: Dont focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!
But it was sent to the wrong Theresa May.
The owner of @theresamay is Theresa May Scrivener, a 41-year-old woman who lives in Bognor and has six Twitter followers. She slept through the excitement.
I wasnt really sure what to make of it, she told the Press Association. I was in bed by half 10 last night and oblivious to it all. It has been very surreal. I havent been able to leave my house. Ive been bombarded and been contacted by press from around the world.
Scrivener said she had received thousands of messages about Trumps tweet. Its amazing to think that the worlds most powerful man managed to press the wrong button. Im just waiting for a call from the White House with an apology.

That's exactly what we're all worried about.

Unfortunately I can see Pence also pushing a certain button.
It is like that Robert Frost poem about whether the world will end in fire or ice.
Trump is the hothead emotional fire (I'll fix them all!) and Pence is the cold calculating ice(Mother, I think it is time for the final solution).

but Trump/the White House seem to make a habit of this (from January 2017):
White House confuses Theresa May's name with PORN STAR in embarrassing gaffe ahead of historic Donald Trump meeting
...
It emerged this morning it mistook the spelling of vicar's daughter Theresa May's name the with glamour model/actress Teresa May in media guidance notes.
The British PM is set to meet Donald Trump this afternoon - the new US president's first meeting with a foreign head of state.
The White House's daily guidance and press schedule from the office of the press secretary reads: "In the afternoon, the president will partake in a bilateral meeting with United Kingdom Prime Minister, Teresa May" - missing out the "h" in her name, despite spelling it correctly elsewhere.
...
Teresa May - without the "h" - is in fact a soft porn actress and glamour model who also starred in a video for the song Smack My Bitch Up, by dance music band The Prodigy.

Depends how stuffy your workplace is, of course.
