Ding dong the witch was dead for 11 minutes.
President Trump's Twitter was down for 11 minutes yesterday, and for 11 minutes joy reentered our veins. Then horror seeped in once again.
His account was apparently deactivated by a Twitter customer support employee, and our personal hero, on their last day, according to these tweets from Twitter Government:
\u201cEarlier today @realdonaldtrump\u2019s account was inadvertently deactivated due to human error by a Twitter employee. The account was down for 11 minutes, and has since been restored. We are continuing to investigate and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again.\u201d— TwitterGov (@TwitterGov) 1509667551
\u201cThrough our investigation we have learned that this was done by a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee\u2019s last day. We are conducting a full internal review. https://t.co/mlarOgiaRF\u201d— TwitterGov (@TwitterGov) 1509674428
Let us take this opportunity to spread a massive #UnfollowTrump campaign. If those 11 minutes brought you hope, why not just unfollow the damn creep and be rid of his constant spew of slander and hate?

Also, thank you George for this insight into the issue:
\u201cTrump's Twitter deactivated for 11 min, and I suddenly thought I'd jumped back into the real timeline where things aren't so damned absurd.\u201d— George Takei (@George Takei) 1509668378
