Trump No Longer Has A Massive Social Media Audience

1. Edit...

To make this a true comparison, interactions there should have been included. I suspect it's much higher than some would expect, sadly.

On edit, as others noted, Trump hasn't been back on the platform even though he was reinstated.

4. RSO

Musk has put him back, but has Trump actually used X ?

[TwilightZone]

11. Nope.

I didn't realize that he hasn't been back at all.

[mopinko]

6. he hasnt returned, tho.

he only uses his sinking platform, tho ppl share all his brain droppings.
i suspect it’s in the contract that he not xit.

[TwilightZone]

12. True.

I didn't realize that he hasn't been back at all.

It may not be in the contract, but I can see why Nunez, et al, wouldn't want him to post on X.

[SCantiGOP]

14. I believe his contracts that set up Truth Social

specify that he can’t use another social media platform.

[Sanity Claws]

25. I think the requirement was that it has to be posted on Truth Social first

and after a certain amount of time it could be reposted on Twitter, IIRC. Apparently even 45 thinks his posts are so worthless and time-limited that he does not repost them on Twitter.

30. what he loses on social media, he picks up in

the mainstream news.

2. Wow, interesting how the likes in 2020 are more than double previous years.

Bought and paid for with GOP money, or Russian money??

[Lonestarblue]

10. Russian bots?

[FSogol]

3. LOL, he trusted Devin Nunez! Moooooo!

[bdamomma]

5. Wow,

thanks for posting. Are people waking or wising up on this wanna be dictator POS/CRIMINAL?

[jimfields33]

7. I wish. He still gets attention from every move he makes

Even so much as how much social media he gets. It’s beven this way forever. Nobody seems to want to ignore him.

[bdamomma]

8. You wonder

if people would just ignore him would just do him in? Stupid smelly narcissist.

[SouthernDem4ever]

16. Seriously, he doesn't need social media when the MSM reports every time he takes a crap

which is when he says anything.

[mopinko]

13. ppl r getting bored w his bs.

[TwilightZone]

9. What percentage of his Twitter/X "interactions" were bots?

Musk was supposed to get rid of them, but just used them as an excuse to start charging people.

[hay rick]

15. The broadcast media amplify his posts for him.

That way his followers, many of whom stumble over the biggest and best words, don't have to click on his posts.

[Bev54]

17. So true and sickening, nobody would be reading the posts if not for the media.

[h2ebits]

18. He doesn't need social media. . . .

with our 24/7 "news" cycle that reports everything he says and which is then posted by other people on various social media.

I am sick to death of hearing his latest nastiness. He belongs in prison--cut off from contact with the rest of the world.

[Boomerproud]

20. Can't recommend this more.

[Ford_Prefect]

19. Do the lawyers draw straws to decide who tells him the bad news???

[tinrobot]

21. I'd love to see a chart of how many articles/news reports there are about his posts.

Seems like I see daily articles on these low-traffic posts that spread them far/wide.

Can't get away from that garbage.

[ShazzieB]

22. I see 2021 is missing from the graphic.

I guess that must be because of the gap between his getting off Twitter and getting Truth Social started up. Not enough data from that year, I suppose.

[Fiendish Thingy]

23. This doesn't capture the millions who see Trump's "truths"

When the MSM republishes them on their platforms.

[FailureToCommunicate]

24. Good point!

[Oopsie Daisy]

26. I wonder if it matters. He's quoted here, there, and yon *

* and screen captures of his posts are shared (and read aloud) by cable-tv hosts and by youtube creators. He's certainly not as walled-off as those charts might suggest.

[BadGimp]

27. Seems Legit

[Warpy]

28. Not at all surprising that it peaked in 2020

which will likely be called the "lost year" by future historians because everynody was stuck at home while a nasty disease for which we had few treatments killed people.

I'm an introvert, so lockdown was great for me. Extroverts are the majority and they had a really tough time with only virtua contact allowed if they wanted to live.

So, desperate for social contact, a lot of them fell down the rabbit hole

Now that social interaction is restored, most of them seem to have climbed back out.

Honestly, I thought it would take longer, but in person contact is so important to extroverts that of course the online stuff will get ignored once they can be out and about again.

29. He never had a massive audience to begin with

Any growth of his audience that he has succeeded in generating has been offset by the growth of voters who have opposed him -- which is why he can look forward to losing the popular vote for the THIRD time in a row.
