President Trump’s personal Twitter account briefly disappeared Thursday evening, causing pandemonium on the social media platform.
Search results for Trump’s handle “@realDonaldTrump” displayed a “sorry, that page no longer exists” message for a couple minutes just before 7 p.m. Eastern time.
Several Twitter users remarked on the odd occurrence, with some celebrating the news.
