What better way to ban President Trump from Twitter than to buy it yourself? At least that's the plan proposed by Valerie Plame Wilson, whom Americans may remember as the outed CIA operative whose identity was uncovered thanks to a leak during the George W. Bush administration.
According to USA Today, Wilson has now started a GoFundMe page to "buy a controlling interest in Twitter, in order to delete the president's account." Twitter is currently valued at $12 billon with shares going for $16. Her goal: $1 billion.
If @Twitter executives won’t shut down Trump’s violence and hate, then it's up to us. #BuyTwitter #BanTrump https://t.co/HhbaHSluTx
