Put this on your calendar: next Thursday, September 20th, at 11:18 AM PDT, there will be the first nationwide "Presidential Alert" cell phone test. You can't silence these. Plan accordingly.
I wouldn't preemptively, but if he started using it as a propaganda channel like he does Twitter? Inability to turn that off could be...problematic.

Wouldn’t bet on it, this system is almost a decade old. If it was gonna be misused, it would have been done by now. Also, I don’t think they’re alerts the President personally issues, so much as they are ones he would approve. But no instance has ever required one, so who knows
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
