Donald Trump continues to use his official Twitter account @RealDonaldTrump heavily instead of the presidential account @Potus. President Obama used to have a team that managed his accounts.

We must say that this analysis is based on real Trump tweets; they are not fake or invented; they are tweets sent by the President of the United States.

Democratic members, the DNC, or Crooked Hillary Clinton, blaming Russia, Russia, Russia for Bernie Sanders’ victory in Nevada. If so, I suggest calling Bob Mueller and the 13 angry Democrats to make a new Mueller report. Democratic Edition. Bob will get to the bottom of all this!

Fox News is the media that receives the most mentions. It’s also one of the only ones that speaks “kindly” of Donald Trump. That’s why the president sends tweets like these:

However, the rest of the media mentions are not so kind. For example, CNN receives many tweets from the president in 2017 that are not so kind:

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 1, 2017
Let’s remember that the one sending these tweets is the President of the United States of America.

Tweet Binder Tweet economic value
President Trump loves Twitter. Trump Twitter and Fox News is also a great source of information as you can get a lot of information from it and also great tweets. Twitter is where Donald Trump feels safe, independent, and where he can say what he wants. We have not tried to judge the content of the tweets; we don’t care, and we have more important things to do. Donald Trump’s use of Twitter is very particular as he uses it every day, and each of these tweets creates huge controversy. The way he addresses the media has not been seen before; he insults and mocks them. When analyzing mentions of Trump Russia Twitter, intervention has a special place: there are 10,000 tweets (no retweets) every 3 days mentioning Donald Trump and Russia.
We will see where this goes, but it seems that Trump does not stop tweeting, and no one can stop him either. But let’s compare the value of the President of the United States in 2020 with a former president: Barack Obama. A tweet from Barack Obama is worth almost twice as much as a tweet from Trump:
This is the value of a tweet from Barack Obama.
