I believe that there is a zero percent chance that Donald Trump posts his own tweets. 100% is Dan Scavino, Hope Hicks, and the rest of the social media & communications teams. Just like Katie Dowd and her team manages Hillary Clinton's social media platforms; and Rob Flaherty for Joe Biden.
Most politicians, news networks, and celebrities hire people like me to manage their platforms and make posts based on analytics & metrics, not emotion. We review the trends, responses to previous tweets/posts, demographics, and base our posts with pinpoint motives for our clients. The text we choose to use is heavily crafted and planned. Even "covfefe" was done during the time of the "OOPS" email marketing strategy where you point out a mistake to bring more attention to your brand.
And everyone on my side of work knows this, but everyone is just pretending that Trump is up at all hours of the night tweeting or jumping between Twitter accounts. When clearly he punts when a news reporter asks him about a tweet posted that he isn't familiar with because he's not posting them, or when Trump was tweeting in the middle of a LIVE DEBATE on National TV.
Look, I love me some Donald Trump, but seriously, if you exclude the media's portrayal of him as a prolific Tweeter, could you imagine someone who is his age, tweeting at that pace and with such precision?
These people don't use social media the way normal people do. These are just marketing facades they are attacking. But everyone is pretending like it's the real person because that is how we use these platforms.
The bans are one thing, but the news media knows that social media managers exist, because they have their own teams too. Something just feels off about the current conversation.
In the beginning - actually no, i believe Trump does tweet a lot of his own stuff. At least according to a staffer who supports him even after she was let go ( I'm bad with names ). I believe it was in her book about her 3 year experience with him as POTUS.
Trump literally schemes his tweets starting early morning a lot of the times because it's his schtick - it's a marketing gimmick. He uses his skills in marketing to make a provocative statement on twitter because he knows the entire left will eat it up for hours. It allows him to control their narrative, so he can go about his day knowing what the left turds are likely focused on.
I can’t imagine that. Social media is a marketing goldmine and allows enough room to sway elections.
Dan Scavino had accidentally posted on his account instead of Trump’s account before as well and NYY wrote a whole article about it a couple years ago.
