Former CIA Operative is crowdfunding to buy Twitter ban Trump

It is truly a world where anything can happen. This is not a hoax. Former CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson, is trying to raise $1billion to buy Twitter so as to ban the US President Donald Trump from Twitter.

So she has set up an account on Gofundme under the theme “Let’s #BuyTwitter and #BanTrump” to raise the money.

According to her on the page,

Donald Trump has done a lot of horrible things on Twitter. From emboldening white supremacists to promoting violence against journalists, his tweets damage the country and put people in harm’s way. But threatening actual nuclear war with North Korea takes it to a dangerous new level.

It’s time to shut him down. The bad news is Twitter has ignored growing calls to enforce their own community standards and delete Trump’s account. The good news is we can make that decision for them.

Twitter is a publicly traded company. Shares = power. This GoFundMe will fund the purchase of a controlling interest in Twitter. At the current market rate that would require over a billion dollars — but that’s a small price to pay to take away Trump’s most powerful megaphone and prevent a horrific nuclear war.

She adds that “There’s a real danger that Trump’s tweets could actually start a nuclear war. Let’s delete his account before that happens.”

“Let’s #BuyTwitter and delete Trump’s account before he starts a nuclear war with it. The whole world will thank us when we do!”

As at the time of writing this post, she has raised $59,246 of $1B goal in eight days from 2,045 people.

She continues that “Proceeds from this campaign will be used to buy a controlling share of Twitter. If we can’t get a majority interest, we’ll explore options for buying a significant stake in the company and champion this proposal at the annual shareholder meeting. If that’s impossible for any reason or if there is a surplus from this campaign, 100% of the balance of proceeds will be donated to Global Zero, a nonprofit organization leading the resistance to nuclear war.”

Will she succeed? Only time will tell.
