Let's start a "Trump: DELETE your account" movement!

I think it is atrocious and extremely dangerous that the PEOTUS uses Twitter instead of having press conferences or proper lines communication. It risks creating an international fiasco on one hand or can be used for insider trading on the stock market on the other.

I suppose this has already been suggested but what if we start a movement where every time Trump tweets, we get everyone to tweet back at him: "DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT!"?

I just started and it felt so good!

A POTUS has no business using Twitter in the way he does.

can the powers that be at Twitter revoke Trump's Twitter account?

If his own people can't take his phone away I'm thinking that the Twitter people do the patriotic thing and revoke Trump's Twitter account. Can they do that?

I believe that Trump is putting the American People at risk by using Twitter to spout of whenever he feels like it. Most of the time it's utter nonsense and other times he takes on companies and that causes repercussions on Wall Street and then there have been those occasions where he's dissed other countries or tweeted crap that can be a precursor to war.

That's why I say - it is the patriotic thing for the Twitter folks to do - revoke his account. Take away his privilege as he is abusing his Twitter account.

The Twitter folk must have some standards for tweets - or does everything go?

it's turning into a national security issue. I doubt they'll do that. Nevertheles,, a Change.org petition to force the idiot to delete his account would be good.
