Trump / FEMA to test his capability to reach you via phone next week via [View all]

the presidential emergency broadcast system.

(Hmmm, a new Twitter toy for him? LOL!)

"'Presidential Alert': FEMA to test emergency alert system next week"

https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/15/politics/fema-presidential-alert-trump-emergency-test/index.html

You'll soon be getting a message on your phone from the President of the United States -- whether you are a supporter or not.
It's not a political message, but an emergency test message sent from President Donald Trump as part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's system to warn the public in cases of national emergencies.
A majority of cell phone users will receive an alert on Thursday, September 20, with the header "Presidential Alert" and the message, "THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed."

Abysmal idea, Trump wouldn't know an "emergency" if it bit him Rhiannon12866 Sep 2018 #5

Every one of his psychotic and paranoid delusions will be an emergency. TheBlackAdder Sep 2018 #7

And he has no idea what an actual emergency is, having never experienced one Rhiannon12866 Sep 2018 #8

This will become his Twitter Redux, where he affects Americans on a far more individual scale. TheBlackAdder Sep 2018 #9

I cringe to imagine what constitutes an "emergency" to Trump Rhiannon12866 Sep 2018 #10
