Donald Trump Twitter Attack
Donald Trump's Twitter account was the target of a "rogue" employee who apparently is not a fan of the president. In a Friday tweet storm in response to the outage incident, Trump gave a "Covfefe"-esque response as to the worker's motivation. In what is mystifying to some on Twitter, the POTUS said his account was sabotaged because his messages were "finally getting out... and having an impact."

President Donald Trump's social media account handle, @aRealDonaldTrump, went dark on Thursday for roughly 11 minutes and followers "went nuts," over what Twitter officials originally reported as "human error." Twitter apologized for the incident and later walked back its report after learning an employee pulled the plug on their last day.

One user quipped that during the outage, "Mike Pence was president." A Trump supporter charged that Twitter was part of a conspiracy to silence the commander-in-chief.

The Independent compared Donald Trump's first response about his Twitter account going dark to a previous timeline moment where he presumably committed a spelling error and then appeared to savor the attention he received from the public.

In July, Trump took to Twitter to assail the press for their "fake news" about his administration and its ongoing hostile coverage of the White House. "Despite the constant negative press covfefe," Trump tweeted at 5:06 a.m. EDT. Waves of tweets followed from the Twitter community as many scrambled to figure out what covfefe meant, its proper spelling and if it was even an established word in the English

    (p 71) Both speeches began by discussing the devastation, sadness, and outrage caused by the event. Both speakers also shared common opinions of what ‘we’ as a nation needed to do as well. However, this is where the two similarities begin to differ and again show dialectic style opposing views of solution. Obama uses the techne of rhetoric again to evoke feelings of unity and remind the audience of how human the victims of the shooting were. This is done by talking about their lives, and the joy they brought to those who knew them. He then calls for the citizens of our nation to love one another, come together in solidarity and not give in to fear or turn against each other. Alternatively, Trump uses rhetoric as a means of instilling fear and anger by stating that “radical Islam is coming to our shores”(##). His solution to this is that “we need to respond to this attack on America as one united people – with force, purpose and determination.…

    “We need a leader , not a creeper tweeter!” This was one of the many chants that roared through the streets of Washington , just one day after Donald Trump’s inauguration. I can still remember the hazy morning and the fog covering the top of the Washington Monument. As I looked around I could see all the proud men and women chanting and marching as they throw their fists and signs in the air. The day after the inauguration thousands were in dismay that Donald Trump was actually the president. The person who would be controlling the country for four years or more. People wanted to voice their opinions but they didn’t know how to. So they decided a march would be the perfect way to show how they felt. Teresa Shook made a Facebook Event Page calling for a march in Washington, the next day she had over 100,000 responses.

Yet Donald Trump remained silent all weekend on the worst U.S. humanitarian crisis since Hurricane Katrina crushed New Orleans. Instead, the president obsessed over whether football players stand or kneel during the national anthem.…

    President Trump’s State of the Union address was presented with a new take on law restrictions, graceful improvements in US infrastructure, as well as a significant rivalry against opposing nations. President Trump proves his nationalism and the power of his country’s patriots through acknowledging heroes like Officer Leppert (who helped out during Hurricane Harvey), Preston Sharp (boy who stood up for veteran respect), and Justin Peck (saved people from a terrorist bombing), in the efforts to show his country that he supports all corners of our nation, while lowering unemployment for certain races, supporting veteran cause, and changing economic rates to provide welfare for everyone of the US, no matter what situation they are in.
