Trump’s Twitter account does not exist, company employee’s job

On Thursday evening, the 2^nd of November Trump’s account was deactivated. An employee’s error created this disarray.

Shortly before 7 pm Thursday, social media reports surfaced that the president’s personal account, (at)RealDonaldTrump, was unavailable, providing the error message that the user “does not exist.” The account was restored by 7.03pm.

If Trump’s Twitter is down, does this technically mean he’s no longer POTUS? I mean, it’s the only part of the job he pays attention to.

Twitter Company took responsibility for the cessation. In a tweeted message, the company said the account was “inadvertently deactivated due to human error” by one of their employees.

In that moment, “Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!” truly became President

The deactivation of Trump’s account was done by a Twitter customer employee who was on their last day on the job. A full internal review is being conducted said the company.

 The White House spokesperson did not immediately respond to requests for comments.
