President Trump early Friday wished country music artist Lee Greenwood a happy birthday, but used the wrong Twitter handle to send his wishes.

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

The tweet was deleted around an hour and a half later.

The user "Lee Greenwood 83" appears to be a lawyer in New York, according to his Twitter bio. He responded, saying: "I get this a fair amount, but certainly not at this level."
