President Trump’s Twitter account went down on Thursday. It lasted about 11 minutes. During that brief period, people were getting “Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!” error messages.

Uh– say what? We all know darn well Trump would never delete his Twitter account. What’s the deal?
Twitter initially said that Trump’s account was “inadvertently deactivated due to human error by a Twitter employee.” So an accident. That’s what they were going with. It was an honest mistake.
Earlier today @realdonaldtrump’s 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.

I didn’t really believe that. How do you “accidentally” delete Trump’s Twitter account? In the very least, someone was messing around with it.
As promised, Twitter continued the investigation and “discovered” that this wasn’t just any human error. This was done by a Twitter customer support employee. Twitter added, “who did this on the employee’s last day.”
Through our investigation we have learned that this was done by a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee’s last day. We are conducting a full internal review. https://t.co/mlarOgiaRF

They didn’t explicitly say it was deliberate, but it kinda sounds like the employee wanted to go out with a bang. Of course, liberals are loving it.
The employee is a liberal hero.
Awesome.

Trump has responded.
My Twitter account was taken down for 11 minutes by a rogue employee. I guess the word must finally be getting out-and having an impact.

That’s actually a pretty mild response. I was expecting more, but this is good. #Restraint.
