Not All Heroes Wear Capes: Twitter Employee Deletes Trump’s Account

The machinery of government briefly ground to a halt today, when a Twitter employee deleted Donald Trump’s Twitter account.

OK, only for 11 minutes.

Can we get that extended to three and a half years?

When first reported, Twitter’s story was that it was innocent and done “inadvertently” — the result of “human error”:

Earlier today @realdonaldtrump’s 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.

Now, the whole thing is starting to look . . . a little less “inadvertent”:

Through our investigation we have learned that this was done by a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee’s last day. We are conducting a full internal review. https://t.co/mlarOgiaRF

LOL.

So many questions come to mind.

Was it their last day because they deleted Donald Trump’s Twitter account — or did they delete Donald Trump’s Twitter account because it was their last day?

Why are all mentions of words like “inadvertent” and “error” missing from that second tweet?

And: can we find this individual and make him or her President? Or at least Chief of Staff?
