We're about 1 security breach away from Twitter becoming a serious national security issue. I hope Trump has 2FA to login, but if someone got past Twitters internal system and started tweeting as DT then really bad Shit could happen.

I would hope Twitter has taken extraordinary steps to secure the US president's account.

The account for sure. I wonder about everything else though? Maybe it's naive but it seems like you could create a "presidential" tweet anywhere from their DBs to their CDNs.

not hard to imagine his tweets are sharded onto a dedicated server beneath the White House or something.
