A 'rogue' White House Twitter account is claiming to reveal secrets about Trump's administration
A Twitter account that claims to be tweeting undercover updates from inside Donald Trump’s White House has emerged – and it doesn’t make for fun reading.
The account, which uses the handle @RoguePOTUSstaff, is currently unverified, but claims to offer a secret glimpse into the workings of the White House.
Despite being established for only a matter of days, the account has now attracted over 500,000 followers for a brief glimpse at Donald Trump’s seemingly volatile administration.
One scathing tweet claims: ‘Potus fully overwhelmed after week on the job. Things spilling over into out of office lives for everyone.’
Overheard through locked door: "Don't they know I'm the f— President!?" POTUS displeased at resistance. #resist

Another alleges: ‘Overheard through locked door: “Don’t they know I’m the f— President!?” POTUS displeased at resistance. #resist‘
Here’s a few of the other claims that the account has tweeted.
Pres. Trump is already making waves at the office. Wants to be "the President who will be remembered as a King." His words, not ours.

Assessment is that a post Brexit PM May needs POTUS more than POTUS needs her. "She does what we want, or we go somewhere else."

POTUS appearing very proud of himself today. Says country should be thanking him for the best SCOTUS nomination in history.

Despite the scathing allegations, it’s worth noting that the account is entirely unverified – and has done little to suggest that it is genuine either.
When pressed to give proof of its authenticity, the account holder replied: ‘Feel free to unfollow. We have families. This account could be violation of Hatch Act. What you act could be prosecuted as espionage. #inhiding’.

Others have claimed that the account is run by a right-winger who is attempting to whip up tensions and paranoia – but this is yet to be proven yet.
Even though it all feels pretty appropriate for the era of alternative facts…
