Trump declares Twitter national security threat after #DiaperDon trends following meltdown at miniature table

Donald Trump has angrily declared Twitter a national security threat after #DiaperDon went viral following a news conference in which he repeatedly complained about perceived injustices.

“Twitter is sending out totally false ‘Trends’ that have absolutely nothing to do with what is really trending in the world. They make it up, and only negative ‘stuff’,” the US president tweeted without providing evidence in the early hours of Friday morning.

Mr Trump did not say which trending topic upset him, but following Thursday’s press briefing, which saw him furiously assail a reporter from behind a surprisingly small desk, the hashtag #DiaperDon surged towards the top of Twitter’s trending list in the US and UK.

MeidasTouch, an anti-Trump political action committee, took credit for the initial use of the hashtag on Friday morning.

No, this is NOT Borowitz, or The Onion.

This is a regular news article by a reporter for The Independent.

And if Trump was having a meltdown last night, it's probably worse this morning with #DiaperDon still the #1 trend on Twitter.
