Trump tweets and Twitter account analysis
President Tweets Yesterday And Today
The dates of the analysis were since May 4th 2009 until the 7th of January 2,021. We analyzed a lot of info and we can say: Trump + Twitter, what a combination! He was probably the President in the world that used Twitter the most. And when we say “used” it means he did it personally, he did not seem to have a team of people managing the account for him.
If you’d like to analyze Trump tweets, you should write from:realdonaldtrump in the search box. As that is nos possible anymore, you can create a Twitter account analysis for any other account with our exclusive Twitter user tracker:
Evolution of tweets sent by Donald Trump since 2009
Donald Trump Twitter’s account was opened in 2009. Since then he has sent almost 47K original tweets. In the next chart you will see how he has been using his official account @realDonaldTrump since then. If we take a look at Trump’s account since 2009, the year he opened his account, until there is data the evolution is quite interesting (kind of crazy if you think about it):
Donald Trump has always used his personal Twitter account @realDonaldTrump instead of the one from the official for the US Presidency @Potus. Former President Barack Obama used to have a team running his accounts. Whenever he sent a tweet personally, he added its signature to it so the audience would know. Trump tweets today are considered a great source of information. We have to say that this analysis is based on real Trump tweets, they are not fake or made up, those are tweets sent by Trump himself.
You can get these tweets and complete data with a Twitter Historical report. The Tweet Binder report about how Donald Trump tweets in 2020 also shows that this tweet remains as Tump’s most liked tweet and Trump’s most retweeted tweet he ever shared:
