Someone Deactivated Trump’s Twitter Account for 11 Minutes and the Responses Are Golden
Whoever did this deserves a raise.
Yesterday, Donald Trump’s official Twitter account was deactivated for a whopping 11 minutes. Twitter Government tweeted that a Twitter customer support employee did this on his or her last day of work.
\u201cEarlier today @realdonaldtrump\u2019s account was inadvertently deactivated due to human error by a Twitter employee. The account was down for 11 minutes, and has since been restored. We are continuing to investigate and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again.\u201d— TwitterGov (@TwitterGov) 1509667551
\u201cThrough our investigation we have learned that this was done by a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee\u2019s last day. We are conducting a full internal review. https://t.co/mlarOgiaRF\u201d— TwitterGov (@TwitterGov) 1509674428
Donald Trump, of course had something to say about this.

Of course it's unclear whatever the hell Donald's "word" is unless, of course, it's of hatred, racism, sexism, discrimination, and ignorance.
After Trump tweeted, Twitter started to ream into him. Here are some of the best responses to Trump’s account being deactivated.
\u201c@realDonaldTrump It's almost like Twitter is a casual social media site & not a secure platform the president should use to discuss policy on a whim at 3am.\u201d— Tammy Ruggaber (@Tammy Ruggaber) 1509719628
\u201c@TwitterGov @realDonaldTrump Please don\u2019t... And give that employee a raise\u201d— TwitterGov (@TwitterGov) 1509667551

Oh, and Rosie O'donnell called it an act of god.
