Mr. Trump...you are a GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE!

Dear Mr. Trump

You are a government employee...I do believe that using the @POTUS twitter account to complain about how Nordstrom's is treating your daughter Ivanka puts you in VIOLATION of the law!

An employee shall use official time in an honest effort to perform official duties. Generally, personal activities should not be conducted during duty hours.

5 C.F.R. § 2635.705 (see Subpart G - Misuse of Position; Use of official time)


Let's see you explain how tweeting about Nordstrom dropping your daughter Ivanka's line due to lack of adequate sales falls under official duties on government time, and while using government PROPERTY which is owned by "We the people!"

As a former government employee, you are so correct.

Using government property in this way for personal use is simply not allowed.
