OK.....seriously....who was the genius that thought it was a fine idea to give our dumpster fire president the ability to puke out whatever scatterbrained numbskullery he dreams up and send it to all of our cell phones and we can't block or prevent it because that's some brownshirted nonsense...
President Donald Trump may soon be communicating with you directly on your phone — even if you don't follow him on Twitter.
Next Thursday, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will do its first test of a system that allows the president to send a message to most U.S. cellphones.
More than 100 mobile carriers, including all the major wireless firms, are participating in the roll out, FEMA stated in a message on its website posted Thursday.
"The EAS [Emergency Alert System] is a national public warning system that provides the President with the communications capability to address the nation during a national emergency," FEMA said.
The test message will have a header that reads "Presidential Alert," according to the agency.
Users whose phones are on will twice hear a tone and vibration and then see an English-only (for now) message: "THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.”
