Former CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson wants to buy Twitter and kick off Trump
Valerie Plame Wilson, who was outed as a CIA operative during the Bush Administration, has put up a GoFundMe page so that she could buy Twitter - and then give Trump the boot. "Donald Trump has done a lot of horrible things on Twitter," says Wilson on her campaign's page. "From emboldening white supremacists to promoting violence against journalists, his tweets damage the country and put people in harm's way."
"The company is currently worth nearly $12 billion, with its shares going for around $16," according to USA Today.
The goal: $1 billion. That might be a stretch, though. Wilson has raised more than $3,000 since she launched the campaign on August 16.
"At the current market rate that would require over a billion dollars - but that's a small price to pay to take away Trump's most powerful megaphone and prevent a horrific nuclear war," Plame wrote. If they aren't able to meet that goal, the plan is to buy a "significant stake" in order to push the proposal at the annual stakeholder's meeting, Plame said.
And what does Twitter have to say on the matter? No comment as of yet, according to USA Today.
