"Can`t wait for President Trump to call us FAKE NEWS," read one posting on the newly opened Twitter account @AltNatParkService. An individual contacted at the alternative Twitter feed for Mount Rainier National Park said: "It`s not about the people running the accounts. The alternate National Park Service Twitter feed said it had passed control of its account to individuals outside the government to protect colleagues at the agency. Not an official NASA account.
