Believe this is GMT, which means it just happened. Trying to verify through other sources.

Donald J. Trump's term ended on 2021-01-11 19:40:00.

1. what's that mean?

[wryter2000]

7. Maybe Pompeo knows

I sure don't.

[BusyBeingBest]

2. Typo? I hope not.

[wryter2000]

3. Yup

Wonder what this is all about.

If he resigns, will that stop impeachment? Even if it does, Congress can still investigate.

[exboyfil]

9. Impeachment can continue but probably won't

Should it? I don't know. I just want him gone right now. He is too dangerous.

[servermsh]

4. Technically that is tonight :)

[angrychair]

13. No, its now, it GMT

Its 19:57 GMT as of right now.

[underpants]

14. Is STEINER on call?

From the Hitler videos on YouTube

[fearnobush]

5. Did he resign?

[mrs_p]

6. Does it mean he's gone??

Can I stop holding my breath that he won’t start a nuclear war??

[northoftheborder]

8. ?

[underpants]

10. Now it's 19:49. Did they hit the snooze button?

Donald J. Trump's term ended on 2021-01-11 19:49:00.

[madaboutharry]

11. That looks like 7:40 p.m. est.

Could this be a hack?

[bearsfootball516]

12. Has to be a typo, right?

The fact is says “ended” is past tense, but the date and time specified is in the future.

[BusyBeingBest]

19. May also be a hack.

[choie]

15. what????

[PA_jen]

16. I went to the website and it read: Donald J. Trump's term ended on 2021-01-11 19:49:00.

[pdxflyboy]

17. If the time given is in UTC,

He's already gone.

[eyewall]

18. Greenwich (UTC) Time would be 11:00am

[cwydro]

24. No. Not on the east coast.

Which is where trump currently resides.

[dawg day]

20. When Nixon resigned, the resignation letter was sent to Kissinger--

Secy of State.

So this is... puzzling.

[Baitball Blogger]

21. Maybe they found a loophole to protect the nuclear codes?

[highplainsdem]

22. The versions of that I've seen have given three different times. later today.

I'm checking Twitter. No one seems to know what this is about.

[dawg day]

27. Must be a hack--

Or some staffer immolating him/herself for effect.

[JHB]

54. Or a simple error using a current date/time instead of a fixed future one.

[angrychair]

32. Here is where I saw it

Link to tweet

?s=19

[StarfishSaver]

50. If the 25th Amendment were invoked, his term would not end. He's still president

It's just that his powers have been transferred to the VP.

[Mike 03]

60. Interesting!

Thanks.

[Totally Tunsie]

23. Be still, my heart!

In five hours? Not sure I can wait that long to exhale!

[Politicub]

25. This is weird. I wonder if this is real or the work of a hacker?

[Baked Potato]

26. A hack or a tip. Interesting.

[onetexan]

28. I think its a hack

[jcgoldie]

35. Cant be

... its not even in russian...

[Farmgirl1961]

29. Whoa - Please oh please oh please, let this NOT be a hack.... n/t

[Walleye]

30. Maybe Q anon is in the state department and it's a coded message

[Maru Kitteh]

31. Could he have died? Would I celebrate?

[blueinredohio]

72. Then we could all meet at the cemetary

and take turns dancing on his grave! Notice how I didn't get hasty and say shit on his grave?

[abakan]

73. I am determined to live long enough to piss on his grave.

And then have a big party.

[blueinredohio]

75. Count me in!

[sarisataka]

33. In Washington time it is only 1500

In GMT, that would have been 2:40 this afternoon

Interesting...

edit> corrected time

[angrychair]

37. I think the time given

Is in GMT which would essentially be right now.

[cwydro]

40. No, GMT is five hours ahead of EST.

Really amazed how many people dont know this.

[KPN]

47. Right you are. Eight hours ahead of PST.

[sarisataka]

53. I don't have the time zones memorized, sorry

I typed it into a time converter but inadvertently calculated in the wrong direction

It correctly comes to 2:40 Eastern

[Mc Mike]

34. Well, I'm glad THAT'S over

It was wild, wasn't it?

[relayerbob]

36. Highly unlikely, Prob a hack

[angrychair]

66. Per news sources

Its was a disgruntled staffer

Link to tweet

?s=19

[Sogo]

38. 25th Amendment invoked?

[exboyfil]

46. He is still President under the 25th

just doesn't have the powers of the office.

[soothsayer]

39. I'll take it as a good omen

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

41. Too good to be true. nt

[unblock]

42. sounds like a disgruntled employee's resignation letter, lol!

[LeftInTX]

43. I think it's a hack

[ucrdem]

44. So he gets the news in a tweet.

Perfect.

[Budi]

56. Haa! On his suspended acct!!

[ucrdem]

67. While sitting on the can.

The gold one.

[Budi]

68. 🤣 repeatedly hitting 'enter'... he's now rage not-tweeting

Rofl...

[uppityperson]

45. Here's direct link to bio pages, no Trump there.

https://www.state.gov/biographies-list/

[exboyfil]

51. So a hoax?

Or is it actually in the State Department domain through a hack or disgruntled employee.

[relayerbob]

48. It's a hack

And a pretty low quality one at that

[IcyPeas]

49. Holy shit. what does this mean?

[IndyOp]

52. The time listed now is 19:49:07 - seems like a hack to me.

Donald J. Trump's term ended on 2021-01-11 19:49:07.

[Ellipsis]

55. Greenwich Mean Time

[IndyOp]

59. It could be GMT. It's weird that it's changed from 19:40 (in the OP) to 19:49 now

Also weird to see a value for seconds. I think I saw 19:49:41 earlier.

Trust me, I will be beyond ecstatic if he resigns. I'm just being skeptical until there's more evidence.

[underpants]

62. Zulu time.

That’s the military name for GMT.

[LeftInTX]

57. I get a 404 error now

https://www.state.gov/404

Pretty sure it was a hack

[Politicub]

58. I was hoping that we switched timelines. Someone posted a link to a page about Pence on Twitter

It has the same thing.

On edit: here's the link https://www.state.gov/biographies/michael-r-pence/

[Sanity Claws]

61. It also says Pence's term ended

https://www.state.gov/biographies/michael-r-pence/

time ended: 19:44:22

Isn't that a few minutes after what was posted for Trump's term?

[exboyfil]

63. Biden now has to throw away all the 46 merchandise

That is going to cost a bundle. Maybe I can pick up a t-shirt cheap.

[LeftInTX]

65. Gonna be collectors' mechandise!

[blaze]

64. Twitter: I'm gonna cancel his account. State Department: Hold my beer.

[Budi]

69. Haaaahaa

[whopis01]

70. They are saying it was a disgruntled employee

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/christopherm51/state-department-website-trump-term-ending-employee

[Fiendish Thingy]

71. Has already been corrected- delete or modify your post to avoid misinformation. Nt

[PurgedVoter]

74. It was posted so it was official!!

By Trumps own logic, he can't take it back. That's right, He is no longer president as of the time listed. No take backs. That would be cheating and stealing the presidency. Trump is out. Yea!!!! We can all rejoice. If he takes it back he is a cheater and a welsher. Those are the rules of golf. You resign as president and you can't take it back.
If he tries to take it back it would be UnAmerican!

You can't resign and unresign the same day. Trump is gone. It's in the constitution. Trump is gone and no take backs!
