He also retweeted some accounts believed to be bots. Apology for language. Looks like it was finally deleted. Image of the tweet at link.

Donald Trump went on a wild retweet frenzy Wednesday morning, sharing 60 apparently supportive messages from firefighters after a prominent union announced its endorsement of former Vice President Joe Biden. The retweet rampage was unusual in itself, but the twist came when one of his supposed supporters changed their username to “Fuck Donald Trump.” The username was then still proudly displayed on Trump’s Twitter page. The president seemed infuriated by the suggestion that he didn’t have the support of firefighters—his retweet spree began with him writing: “I’ve done more for Firefighters than this dues sucking union will ever do, and I get paid ZERO!”

Trump retweets some 60 anti-Biden tweets, elevating some questionable accounts

President Donald Trump went on a Twitter spree Wednesday morning in attempt to show that he has support from firefighters after former Vice President Joe Biden, the newest 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, netted an endorsement from one of the nation's largest firefighter unions last week.

The International Association of Fire Fighters, a union that represents over 300,000 firefighters, endorsed Biden last week. The endorsement was a loss for Trump and a sign that Biden may put up a strong fight for middle class voters who propelled Trump to his 2016 victory.

To push back on the endorsement, Trump retweeted about 60 Twitter users in less than an hour who said they supported him over Biden. Each of the users the president retweeted were responding to a tweet in support of Trump from a conservative radio host.

But it was unclear if each response from the nearly 60 strangers that were retweeted to Trump's 59.9 million followers were legitimate accounts or not -- a continuous question as another presidential election nears and the magnitude of social media disinformation grows.

Whom did the president retweet?

Of the users Trump retweeted Wednesday morning, one account clearly used "very carefully crafted verbatim content" directed at particular users and frequently used by coordinated disinformation campaigns, according to an analysis by Darren Linvill, an associate professor at Clemson University who researches social media and disinformation coordination, including the Russian Internet Research Agency.

Another user Trump retweeted was determined to likely be a bot, according to a tool developed by students at the University of California at Berkeley that tracks patterns of political bots.

A third user concerned Linvill for a different reason. Four days before her account was retweeted by the president, a Twitter user named Kimberly tweeted at Customs and Border Patrol that its agents should take two MS-13 gang members apprehended at the Southern border "outback" and "eliminate them for their own good."

"Even if they are not disinformation, even if each of these is an individual person, a lot of them are still really questionable as to why the president would elevate their perspective," Linvill said. "It's concerning to me that the president of the United States would retweet someone without having any knowledge of who they are because like it or not, a retweet can be perceived as an endorsement."

For Linvill and his team, the president's engagement with potential bots or accounts spreading disinformation is just a portion of a problem that is going to be "orders of magnitude worse than it was in 2016." For example, Linvill and his partner at Clemson, associate professor of economics Patrick Warren, recently flagged the most popular tweet from an IRA-run account that they'd seen to date, after analyzing roughly 3 million English language tweets known to be affiliated with the Russian agency. The tweet had 400,000 likes. On average, the tweets the president retweeted on Wednesday morning were liked by less than 10,000 users.

Assuming this is not fakenews, hopefully some Deep Stage linked actors are not trying to manipulate MAGA emotionally.
Snowden had talked about some prismic apparatus.

Good luck with that.

Trump never acts based on his emotions.

Trump retweets meme calling for imprisonment of his own deputy attorney general

Heaven forbid, if his retweet about Deputy AG (who resigned yesterday) imprisonment before Mueller Report release led to political obstruction trial by Dems, questions would inevitably be raised... was someone feeding MAGA such tweets by design all along?

Ivanka might get 2024 or later run, no chance for 2020 even if MAGA did not win GOP nomination.

Your pointless bumping of worthless anti-Trump threads is getting too obvious.

As opposed to someone else's worthwhile bumping of pro-neocons threads that is not so obvious.
