Internet rejoices as Donald Trump’s Twitter account is deleted by a rogue employee
For 11 glorious minutes on Thursday evening Donald Trump didn’t have an account on Twitter after an employee deleted it.
“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.”
“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.”
Via @Twittergov.
Let’s go over live to Twitter for a few (nine, ok?) reactions:
1. Joy!
Can someone find out who that twitter employee who deactivated trump’s account was so I can erect a statue of them in my garden

3. Ecstacy!
Trump's twitter account vanishing and then reappearing moments later is the best evidence yet that the events of the past 2 years are the result of warring sects of time travellers

8. Delight!
Trump's Twitter deactivated for 11 min, and I suddenly thought I'd jumped back into the real timeline where things aren't so damned absurd.

No all heroes wear capes.
If the Twitter employee would like to get in touch with The Poke we have a tasty £5 voucher waiting for them for winning corporate subversion of the day.
