Are these babies SO pathologically immature that even receiving a test message from President Trump is enough to ruin their day? Losers.

The liberal brain has been receiving Trumps presidential alert signals for two years now. It has to be torture. Now he is invading their personal cell phone safe space. I love it.

As I recall I used to hear the screeching alert on tv occasionally reminding us that the government requires them to do an alert periodically. I got over it.

I remember when I first heard this phrase:

“This message was brought to you on behalf of this station and the Ad Council”

I’d welcome one from the POTUS.

If this idiot is not sure how terrorism is defined, I would suggest she walk a few blocks from the courthouse to the 911 memorial

It would be funny if he texted “I’m watching you.” :)
