A propaganda battle is playing out in the replies to Trump’s tweets

CNN  

New York CNN — Every time President Donald Trump tweets, thousands of Twitter users reply. An account’s short life on Twitter — and more than 180 replies to President Trump On April 3rd, the account @susanblunt2020 tweeted in response to President Trump: “It’s very suspicious that there are so many cases in American, only explanation is that America is the source.” Another tweet from the same account on March 27th read, “Why did not tell us the virus started in in the US? Of the 238 tweets @sunsanblunt2020 sent in its short life on Twitter, more than 180 of them directly mentioned President Trump’s Twitter username, according to data gathered in ISD’s analysis and seen by CNN Business. A Twitter spokesperson told CNN Business that after ISD reported the accounts to the company, the social network asked account holders to provide additional information, like a phone number, in an effort to prove the account is not suspicious or spam. “Narratives around Covid,” the SIO wrote in its analysis, “praise China’s response to the virus while tweets also use the pandemic to antagonize the U.S. and Hong Kong activists.” An ISD review of those accounts did not find a high amount of direct mentions of Trump’s account.
