Trumps Twitter Fail

 

And it all started with a Tweet

What was the problem? Well, a few things. First off the Official Twitter accounts for the President, First Lady, Press Secretary and the Vice President were all secured with private Gmail accounts. What? Really? After Trump bashed Hillary for having a private email server? The second issue was none of the accounts at the time had 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) turned on. Their partial phone numbers and emails were exposed. It didn’t take long to figure out the emails. So I started tweeting this info out. Knowing this was an issue I notified Laurie at CNN. She then contacted the White House and Dan Scavino, Trumps social media director. But, No response. So, I then tweeted out their actual gmail address’s. Then shit went crazy :/ But, in the end they fixed the issue and attached Gov emails to all the accounts.

 

And that’s pretty much how it went. It only took the White House about 5 Days after the article went viral to fix the Presidential Accounts. This is what happens when you put Morons in Government positions :/

    I think the word you may be looking for is “kakistocracy” or “kakistocrat”.
    (personally, I would also add the following to the list of Orange Caligula’s honorifics… as well as to the sick deluded sycophants working for him:
    unethical, evil, sociopathic, treasonous, anti-American, pro-Russian, bigoted, racist, narcissistic, misogynistic, unhinged, transphobic, homophobic, immoral, perverted, treacherous, dangerous, fascist, and traitorous)
    I have several more, but I think you get my point 😉
