Ivanka Trump trolled for using otherwise' incorrectly in a tweet
As the daughter of Donald Trump, the president of the United States (US), every move, word or action you make will be closely scrutinised.
Some will criticise, some will praise. However, this time Trump's daughter Ivanka left people confused by her latest tweet. Was it a mistake or insult directed at her newborn nephew Luke.
"Cuddling my little nephew Luke… the best part of an otherwise incredible day!”: Ivanka tweeted with a picture of her holding baby Luke.

If you didn't notice what was wrong with that line, it was the use of the word "otherwise" that had people up in arms.
So obviously many took to Twitter to correct her grammar and thus the trolling began.
Ivanka: "I don't know what 'otherwise' means." https://t.co/WUmPkUP283

"Otherwise" implies you did not like hangin with this baby. https://t.co/oB5IEZmOf3

What a strange way to find out Ivanka Trump doesn't know what "otherwise" means. https://t.co/lGIQPdoHMB

Words mean things. This makes no sense, dude.

I've been scrolling to see if anyone caught the "otherwise." What?! So other than holding this kid, your day was great?

Ivanka is not the only one in the Trump family who got trolled for her use of the English language. Donald himself posted a confusing which included "covfefe". Many assumed he meant coverage, but his tweet to explain the word only added to more confusion.
