Trump: is the Twitter password "maga2020!"?

According to what was published by the Dutch sites Volkskrant and Vrij Nederland, the password chosen by Donald Trump to manage his Twitter account would be "maga2020!" (without quotes). It would have been discovered by Victor Gevers, researcher and co-founder of the non-profit reality GDI Foundation, making it known just a couple of weeks after the 2020 US Presidential elections.

Using the conditional is a must, as at the moment the incident has not been officially confirmed. Indeed, the social network (which has always been the most used means by the tycoon to interface with the American people) has categorically denied it. The words entrusted by the platform team to the editors of The Verge website are reproduced below in translated form.

We have no evidence to corroborate this statement, included in the article published today in the Netherlands. In the US, we have proactively implemented security measures for a designated group of high profile and election-related accounts, including federal branches of government.

Reference is to new security measures introduced by Twitter in following the attack of the past months that compromised over a hundred illustrious accounts to implement a scam linked to the transfer of Bitcoin. This is the statement attributed to Judd Deere, White House communications officer.

This is absolutely not true, but we do not comment on the security procedures regarding the President's social media accounts.

From "yourefired" to "maga2020!"

The Dutch sources speak of another attempt made by Gevers to enter Trump's account which was successful, made in 2016, when the password was "yourefired" (always without quotes), a famous phrase pronounced in any exclusion of a competitor from the reality show The Apprentice conducted by him in the past.

The researcher, in support of his statements, declares that he re-entered the President's profile last week and published a post with reference to Babylon Bee satirical site.

“maga2020!” is nothing more than the acronym of Make America Great Again 2020, the slogan of the election campaign put in place to confirm Trump in the White House for the second term. In short, the most powerful man in the world would have shown his password to millions of people at each of his meetings. Not exactly the safest or most secret of access codes, if you play it with 123456.
