Got an announcement to make?UK The presidential alert meme is here for you.

Americans got a text from none other than Donald Trump at 2:18 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Sort of.

Phones lit up with the Wireless Emergency Alert system's first nationwide test. The presidential alerts provide direct communication between the White House and Americans in case of a national emergency, like a disaster or a terrorist attack.

You don't need to worry about Trump sending you late night thirst texts, though. A 2015 law forbids the president from using the emergency alert system to send anything that "does not relate to a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or other man-made disaster or threat to public safety."

There's nothing banning old Tinder matches from sending them, though, so we as a society should definitely work on that.
