He will join Mattis, Tillerson, Cohen, the Mooch, Amarosa, etc. who have turned on Trump. When Trump finally gets hit with the goods on him, he'll have no friends left. Indeed, he never had friends, just people trying to use him to gain money, fame and/or power.

Give a pause, just a second, to Trump's practice of governing by tweet.

Then consider just how many employees of Twitter could post using Trump's account.

And consider how many foreign government sponsored hacking groups could post using Trump's account.

Think about how much damage they could do.
