The Federal Emergency Management Agency is testing a new “presidential alert” system nationwide for the first time next week that will make it possible for Donald Trump to directly message nearly everyone in the nation who has a cell phone.
Officials insisted that the system cannot be used for political purposes.
No one with a cell phone can opt out of presidential alerts
n the test next week, everyone will receive a message that will look like a text and will be headed “Presidential Alert,” FEMA said.
The 2015 law authorizing the WEA system allows warnings to be sent only in times of a “natural disaster, act of terrorism, or other man-made disaster or threat to public safety,” NBC News noted.

Hopefully they rarely if ever have to use it. Although it would be quite entertaining if Trump would flame the liberals a cpl times before it gets put away for in case of emergencies.
why do you think it was 3 years before they tested this though?
The Wireless Emergency Alerts system is an essential part of America's emergency preparedness. Since its launch in 2012, the WEA system been used more than 33,000 times to warn the public about dangerous weather, missing children, and other critical situations – all through alerts on cell phones.

Ummmmm this has been going on since 2012. If you would have read the link that the Huffingpaint post got you so worked up over because of TRUMP, you would have seen how this is a non story and nothing new.

My hairs are standing up.
Why now? Why now after 3 years in the works?
Looks like we'll know about the next false flag attack straight from the snake's mouth. And what if it's sooner than later?
