President Trump's personal Twitter account was temporarily removed on Thursday. And in a stunning plot twist, the world later realised it wasn’t a glitch - but the work of a Twitter employee on his or her last day at work.
It raised serious questions about the security of tweets the president wields to set major policy agendas, connect with his voter base and lash out at his adversaries.
In a tweet Thursday night, Twitter confirmed that the account was deactivated “by a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee’s last day.”
The deactivation on Thursday sparked deep and troubling questions about who has access to the president's personal account, @realDonaldTrump, and the power that access holds.
Trump's account disappeared at around 6:45 p.m. ET Thursday, when visitors to the page were met with the message, “Sorry, that page doesn't exist!”
