Does President Trump Actually Write His Own Tweets?
Trump posts just 5% of the tweets under his name, according to a new report.

The short answer is that Trump isn’t actually typing out the posts that everyone is seeing day to day about 95% of the time. At least that’s according to Laura Loomer, the far-right conspiracy theorist who holds enormous sway within the administration when it comes to people getting fired for “disloyalty.”

Loomer isn’t the only source who believes that Trump isn’t actually typing out posts 95% of the time. Wired says that this number is consistent with unnamed sources who guesstimate the same thing. But it’s important to note that just because Trump isn’t actually typing, that doesn’t mean his aides are creating his content without any input from the man himself.

There are two people who are usually posting content to Trump’s account on Truth Social, the platform he owns and posts to almost exclusively under his name. The first person is Natalie Harp, a 34-year-old aide who actually does the typing when the president wants to share something with the world on social media.

The other person who actually types out Trump’s posts is Dan Scavino, who used to work as an assistant manager at the Trump National Golf Club Westchester in New York, according to Wired. Scavino has been around, leading Trump’s social media efforts since his first term in office from 2017-2021, but Wired notes that Scavino has been delegating a lot of that work, suggesting Harp may be the one mostly commonly typing.
