Donald Trump mocked by Andy Murray with a hilarious Tweet

  • Donald Trump tweeted his disdain at ‘probably’ being Time’s Person of the Year
  • Andy Murray responded by repeating the tone and manner of Trump’s tweet
  • He joked he would ‘probably’ be named BBC Sports Personality winner

Andy Murray might not be best known for his sense of humour but he demonstrated his funny side with a hilarious tweet aimed at Donald Trump.

The US President took to Twitter late on Friday to claim that Time Magazine was planning on making him their Person of the Year again.

‘Bbc just called to say I was PROBABLY going to be named sports personality of the year but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!’ Murray wrote.
