Artist targets Twitter with offline hate tweets
Trump has made extensive use of messages on Twitter to attack his opponents and promote his policies both during the 2016 presidential campaign and since taking office in January. He has 41.7 million followers on Twitter.
“Great Tax Cut rollout today. The lobbyists are storming Capitol Hill, but the Republicans will hold strong and do what is right for America!” he wrote in his first tweet after Thursday’s outage.
Despite of how serious the situation seemed, Twitter couldn't be happier about it. Some responses were rather hilarious.
