South Korea Appoints ‘Twitter Officer’ To Keep Up With Trump’s Tweets

President-elect Donald Trump is not only bringing jobs back to America, he is also creating new jobs overseas — South Korea’s government has hired an officer to exclusively monitor U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s Twitter account. The country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is particularly interested in tweets relating to Korea and northeast Asia, according to the JoongAng Daily. The officer assigned to the new role will have the job of keeping a close eye on Trump’s hyperactive social media account for foreign policy insights.
