Office of Government Ethics launches tweetstorm congratulating Trump
Who even knew the Office of Government Ethics tweeted?

In case you really needed it — here’s one more indication the Trump administration will be like no other.
We’ve talked about Mr. Trump’s tweets this morning about leaving his business operations.
Shortly thereafter, mid-afternoon or so, the following tweet showed up on the Office of Government Ethics‘ account. That’s the agency responsible for preventing conflicts of interest in the executive branch:
.@realDonaldTrump Brilliant! Divestiture is good for you, very good for America!
— U.S. OGE (@OfficeGovEthics) November 30, 2016
It’s important to note here that nowhere did Mr. Trump mention divesting himself from his company. Right after that, came this one:
.@realDonaldTrump OGE applauds the “total” divestiture decision. Bravo!
— U.S. OGE (@OfficeGovEthics) November 30, 2016
Then this one:
.@realDonaldTrump Bravo! Only way to resolve these conflicts of interest is to divest . Good call!
— U.S. OGE (@OfficeGovEthics) November 30, 2016
There were 7 or 8 such semi-congratulatory, semi-facetious messages in their tweetstorm.
It’s tempting to think the account got hacked, but an agency spokesman sent a statement to NPR News confirming that the tweets were, in fact, 100 percent real.
Are government ethicists trolling their future boss?
