What strange app, you can install it even if you're not from / in the US (I am not). I just did for the heck of it.
There's a red button there which says "Text President Trump".
I just did. Told him that I'm not sure his quite right in the head.
Not sure where the SMS went though. It was some weird 5 digit number. But who knows, maybe he received it?
