Instead of tagging Melvin Lee Greenwood, who turned 75 on October 27 and goes by @TheLeeGreenwood on Twitter, Trump tagged @LeeGreenwood83, a lawyer and DC sports fan. The president later deleted the tweet and issued one tagging the musician.
The Lee Greenwood first tagged by Trump appears to have protested Trump's Muslim ban in late January and retweeted an article critical of Trump's firing of former FBI Director James Comey in May.
Lee Greenwood the artist performed his hit song at Trump's inauguration.
