Trump makes light of situation after being silenced on Twitter by 'rogue' worker

There was praise on the network for the employee, and the president himself made light of the outage.

A "rogue" Twitter employee working a final shift at the social network shut down US President Donald Trump's account - but only for 11 minutes.

Shortly before 11pm Irish time the president's personal account, @RealDonaldTrump, showed an error message saying the user "does not exist".
