A Wave of Alt-Government Twitter Accounts Are Now Mercilessly Trolling President Trump

Under Donald Trump’s administration, national parks face a number of perils greater than losing their Twitter accounts, which is what happened to the National Park Service after they tweeted “crowd-size” photos to prove one of many outrageous Trump claims wrong. However, they’re determined to spread the truth, and Twitter — as the president knows — is the place to disseminate one’s message, so some National Park Service employees apparently created a rogue account to tweet facts about climate change.

Of course, some more ribbing has been happening along the way but these employees are now disseminating facts through an alt-government account. That’s a sobering realization, which is also how an alternative EPA account now feels on the matter.

Now, loads of these alt-government accounts are popping up and being tracked by the RoguePOTUSStaff on Twitter. They’re catching on fast — the @RogueNASA account already has over 625,000 followers with other accounts also boasting significant numbers. It’s a trend that won’t die anytime soon, and the @altFDA account wonders how many Trump executive orders will drop in a given day (perhaps 5?). They’d also like folks to acknowledge the existence of science.

Both @RogueNASA and @altNOAA are shaming Trump for “whining like a child” over his crowd sizes rather than working for the American people.

Meanwhile, the @altNOAA and @altUSEPA accounts are calling attention to climate change and striking back at gag orders.

And that alternative National Park Service account is still kicking. They remind everyone that the little blue check mark next to Trump’s name doesn’t mean he can deny climate change and be correct. And they can’t wait until Trump decides to “call us FAKE NEWS.”

Yes, the “you’re fake news” insult that Trump lobbed at CNN and Jim Acosta will be remembered forever. It’ll probably even go in the history books. Sad!
