Trump's brief Twitter follow reveals possible love for adorable kittens

Their mission -- as outlined in their Twitter bio -- is simple: "Critiquing the cutest cats online!" What's not to love?

Trump doesn't follow very many people on Twitter. Indeed, until recently he was following a mere 41 people. The list -- not including the kitten account -- comprises politicians connected to the Trump campaign, members of his family, a select few journalists, and accounts belonging to his businesses.
Naturally, the addition to the list of accounts Trump's following caused a stir on Twitter.

The person behind the account decided to reach out to their new follower with a private message containing the opening line of a joke. Trump, however, didn't wait around for the punchline and unfollowed 'Emergency Kittens'.

We'll likely never know if this out-of-character Twitter follow was accidental, or a hint that Trump is secretly nurturing a love for tiny kittens. Let's hope it's the latter.
