Presidenti­al alerts might be a good thing

-

Phones across America lit up Wednesday with a test “Presidenti­al Alert.” The aim of such alerts is to warn Americans about national emergencie­s.

Many people don’t watch TV, but they are surgically attached to their cellphones. Therefore, in an emergency, if it saves one life it’s a good thing.

I’m OK with the process, but I’m not

OK with someone unstable wielding that power. President Donald Trump has prove he doesn’t care for protocol or decency. I don’t trust him to not abuse it, if he decides to turn it on his political opponents. And I don’t trust Republican­s to stop him.

As long as Trump doesn’t get to write the alerts, I’m fine with it. We all know how his Twitter feed is, and I don’t need that on my phone.
