Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump tweeted birthday wishes to Lee Greenwood on Friday morning.

At least, he did after first sending the message to a different Twitter user with the same name as the "God Bless the USA" singer.

"Happy birthday to the great @leegreenwood83. You and your beautiful song have made such a difference. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump tweeted.

Many were quick to point out that Trump had not tagged the singer but instead a Twitter user self-described as a Manhattan lawyer with a passion for DC-area sports.

One was CNN's Jake Tapper, and the apparently bemused @leegreenwood83 replied, "I get this a fair amount, but certainly not at this level."
