Representatives for the new Trump administration had to ask the National Park Service to temporarily stop tweeting after the department retweeted a tweet that negatively compared the crowd size at Obama's 2009 inauguration to Trump's turnout on Friday. The agency now claims that the message to stop tweeting was given in order to investigate whether or not the account was hacked. The Department has been cleared to resume its Twitter activity this weekend and published a tweet saying, "We regret the mistaken RTs from our account yesterday and look forward to continuing to share the beauty and history of our parks with you".
This article was published to inform the readers of an incident that they may have missed due to the fact that the retweet was deleted soon after it was posted. The author remains impartial throughout the article, clearly stating the facts without any bias for or against the Trump administration. Trump has one of the lowest popularity ratings in the history of all U.S. presidents, and that fact is emphasized by the fact that a federal department shared something with anti-Trump sentiment.
This can relate back to when the Alien and Sedition Acts were passed under John Adams in 1798. The Sedition Act prohibited anyone to "write, print, utter, or publish . . . any false, scandalous and malicious writing" toward the government, and in a similar way, the Department had to delete their tweet because it was negative toward the new president.

I'm not surprised that trump is trying to eliminate any bad press about him. His ego can be measured by the amount of real hair on his head--oh wait..
