The impact of Trump tweets is on the decline

President Trump’s tweets have less of an impact now than they did two years ago.

Trump is inexorably associated with his favorite form of social media — Twitter. And while the quantity Trump’s tweets have increased, the impact of those tweets has decreased, according to a report by Axios.

The president’s “interaction rate” has been on the decline since taking office. The interaction rate is a metric that is used to measure engagement among Twitter users and considers retweets and likes divided by the amount of Twitter followers, to determine the overall impact of a given post.

In November 2017, Trump’s interaction rate sat at 0.55%, later dropping to 0.32% in June 2017. As of this month, that it has declined to a 0.16% interaction rate. At the same time, the pace of Trump’s tweets has increased. The president tweeted 157 times per month during his first six months in office — that number has increased to 284 times per month over the last six months.

This was after I realized it did not benefit my life in the slightest. Granted, I clicked on your post, but more and more I'm shutting Trump out. I think others are doing the same. He's ridiculous and people are starting to find better ways to occupy their minds.

I don't follow any person. I follow the penguins of Antarctica, the scientists of the Arctic, and other groups like that. Any group that is non political but I find interesting. I block Trump. I do like to scan idiots like Trump and laugh. I never tweet to anyone except for books and movie recommendations.

That’s all they are, content-wise. Self-aggrandizement, and crying over who’s been “unfair!” to His Majesty.

Anything else is too complex for his rodent brain.
