This is what happens when your biggest fans are bots.
Like pretty much everything else about his presidency, Donald Trump’s
Twitter following is a lie. His social media fan base is mostly made of
fake accounts; his legion of followers overwhelmingly comprised of automated bots.
This weekend, Trump inadvertently reminded us how phony his social
media popularity is when he shined a light on what he erroneously
believed was an adoring supporter. That Trump booster turned out be a
Twitter bot—just one of the millions of fake accounts that exist solely
to bolster the popularity of the most unpopular
president in American history.
On the heels of the president basically
catfishing himself, Twitter has since suspended the fake account and a
slew of others just like it.
