WASHINGTON – @realDonaldTrump, the Twitter feed that grew from the random musings of a reality TV star into the cudgel of an American president, has died.
It was not quite 12 years old.The provocative handle was given birth by a New York real estate tycoon who used it to help him become the 45th U.S.
president. It began with a May 4, 2009, tweet promoting Donald Trump's upcoming appearance on David Letterman's show.It died more than 57,000 tweets later, with Trump using some of his final postings on the powerful platform to commiserate with a pro-Trump mob that besieged the halls of Congress in a deadly assault as lawmakers were set to certify his defeat.The account met its demise when Twitter announced Friday it was pulling the plug.
