Everything our current president does eventually becomes a trending meme on social media. This week when President Trump sent out a presidential alert to almost every phone in the country, twitter was quick to turn that into a meme. Many people are even asking why are we giving a president who tweets his every thought, access to text us at anytime? Although the alert this week was only a test, how long will it be until our president uses this new way of communication the same way he uses his twitter account.
It seems the media has a way of turning everything into a joke. On a serious note, maybe this new alert system can be used to spread natural disaster warnings. USA Today says ' The goal is to warn residents of national emergencies such as dangerous weather.' Maybe we should be asking this more seriously than we currently are as this may be a way to help more people evacuate from being in the path of a natural disaster. Regardless, I know I will be waiting for the first ridiculous use Trump has to use the presidential alert.
