Since President Trump declared his faux national emergency yesterday — after essentially undercutting the basic premise behind it by actually blurting out that he didn’t really need to do it — Twitter has exploded with a series of hilarious responses to the fake alarm under the hashtag #NotesFromNationalEmergency.

The denizens of the Twitterverse posted their imaginative accounts from the front lines of a phony emergency to create a mythological experience that rivals the correspondence sent home by soldiers during the Civil War.
Here’s a sampling of some of the best tweets reacting to the invisible state of emergency that can only be seen through the lens of Trump’s elaborate web of lies.
Today I ventured out with a partner. We visited family who were thankfully safe for now. Upon our return we locked our doors and hugged our pets, gratefully home before sunset.#NotesFromNationalEmergency

The only food in the house is an old taco making kit, which I’m making while my daughter watches a show about the importance of sharing. The Socialists have joined the Mexicans! All is lost. Nothing left to do but drink the last of my Don Julio 1942. #NotesFromNationalEmergency

We called our family in San Diego. They said their cat coughed up a nasty hairball. No word yet if it was caused by caravan diseases or not. #ThoughtsAndPrayers #NotesFromNationalEmergency

I saw a woman with duct tape. She also had several empty egg cartons, several pipe cleaners of various colors (maybe gang-related), and jiggly eyes. Perhaps it’s craft, or prelude to an invasion. #NotesFromNationalEmergency

Took the kids swimming. I could hear the other parents at the pool whispering, “do you think there’s enough chlorine in the water, or have the chlorine rations kicked in already?” #NotesFromNationalEmergency

Day 2: Just made a short trip to the grocery store. Not enough supplies for the Emergency. There were many other shoppers with the same look of panic, a few fighting over the last of the rotisserie chickens. I’m glad I’m home safe. #NotesFromNationalEmergency

Woke up, had coffee, and started watching out my window for the caravan. They haven't infiltrated our country yet because we have a President who loves us so much he is willing to spend all afternoon on a golf course creating a plan to keep us safe. #NotesFromNationalEmergency

Ran out of 92% dark chocolate squares. May be forced to eat 86% dark chocolate squares. Terrified of the extra 1% sugar. What should I do? #NotesFromNationalEmergency

Son2 has given me his cough. I suspect he had been sneaking out at night to run around with the bad ombrés. We are only 100 miles away from the border.
Ok, the Canadian border but still.

Tried to buy food while supplies are plentiful & before fuel is rationed. Though stocks are low post- snowpocalypse, supply chains appear to remain intact.
Still, unable to find my favorite whole grain levain bread or Tony Cachere’s cajun seasoning.#NotesFromNationalEmergency

I'm going to heat up a frozen burrito because I don't trust the local Mexican restaurant. They might tape me up and rape me when I go to pick the food up. #NotesFromNationalEmergency

Met a self-declared ISIS terrorist today. Nice man, all things considered. I asked how he got into the country. “You Americans don’t have a wall of steel slats on your border with Mexico,” he said. Then he winked and put a finger to his lips. #NotesFromNationalEmergency pic.twitter.com/kuYwIAbaME

Dear Diary, Day 2 Rushed to the store to purchase emergency provisions but was denied buying any because I didn't have an i.d. Having survived the Bowling Green Massacre, I'm use to having cereal with no milk, but damn it, I need bread! Sad times. #NotesFromNationalEmergency

Judging from the responses so far, it’s clear that the major concern if a real national emergency should ever arrive would be making sure that everyone has enough food — that and the fact that everyone knows that President Trump just pulled this entire fraud out of his rear end.
