Donald Trump will text all Americans next week to test FEMA’s new 'Presidential Alert' system, and you can't opt out
It has been announed that President Donald Trump will text your cell phone next week and, no, this is not an attempt to spread political propaganda. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is all set to test out a new "Presidential alert" system which will have the president text practically every person in the US who has a cell phone. More than a 100 major cell phone carriers have said that they will participate in the test which will take place at 2:18 pm ET on Thursday, September 20. However, it has also been said that no one with a cell phone will be able to opt out of receiving the message.
FEMA said in a statement that was released on September 15 that everyone whose service provider is participating in the test will receive a message to their phones that will say "Presidential Alert". It has been said that when the alert arrives on the phone, a tone and a vibration is said to go off twice. This is the same sound that is used for AMBER alerts and weather warnings, reported the Daily Mail.
