Trump tweet total analysis… Twitter rises, Twitter breaks

This is a quote from the situation of US President Donald Trump. The US House of Representatives passed the impeachment bill on the 13th (local time), but on the 9th, he was first deported on Twitter. It was said that this was like cutting off Trump’s limbs. Trump sent out dozens of tweets a day, dismissing the minister through tweets, announcing the place to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and sending messages to supporters. Twitter suspended the account for the reason that “President Trump incited violence in the Capitol and violated operating rules.”

The beginning was pure. Trump’s Twitter politics began on May 4, 2009 with this single line. “You’ve got to appear on the’David Letterman Show’, so be sure to watch it.” At the time, he was a real estate developer who dreamed of entering the political world. The next tweet was also about promoting his own broadcast program,’Apprentice’.

As he formalizes his ambitions to enter the White House, Twitter emerges as his political tool. He actively used tweets to gather support and criticize his politics. As a resourceful businessman, he noticed the power of social networks (SNS) before other politicians.

According to an analysis by the British Economist on the 12th, Trump has posted a total of 46,694 tweets for about 11 years. This is an average of 77 per week, and more than ten per day. The number of followers reached up to 88 million.

According to the Economist’s full analysis of President Trump’s tweets, the number and content of his tweets go hand in hand with his rise and fall. Each time he had his political agenda, the number of tweets exploded.

The number of tweets, which was relatively low in 2010 (142) and 2011 (772), increased the following year thanks to the then-president Barack Obama’s’birther’. Former President Obama, who was about to be re-elected at the time, was suspicious of not being born in the United States, and the White House even released a birth certificate stating that he was born in Hawaii in 1961. Nevertheless, Trump continued to raise conspiracy theories, and his tweets soared to 3523 in 2012 and 8128 in 2013.

From 2014 to 2015, he focused on criticizing’Obama Care (the reform of the American health insurance system promoted by the Obama administration)’ and’global warming’. In particular, President Trump insisted that “global warming is a fraud,” but as soon as time passed, he declared war on “withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement.” In addition, there were many tweets that swear at the media that criticized him.

Even in the first impeachment phase in 2019, Trump’s Twitter account had no time to rest. This is because more than 100 tweets criticized the impeachment. Trump’s Twitter was his anger gauge.

After being elected president in 2016, the number of tweets from him, which was briefly stagnant, surged again last year. Before reelection. Last year, he poured out 6,280 new tweets and 5956 retweets, reaching 12,236 in total.

The Economist also analyzed the expression of emotions in tweets. Citing the analysis of Canadian computer scientists Saif Mohammad and Peter Furney. They used 11,182 words to group Trump’s tweets related to’emotions’ and categorized them into categories such as’joy, anger, and fear’. According to this, the frequency of’joy’ was dominant until 2015. When the difference was the most, it was more than twice as much as’anger and fear’.

It was in 2018 that’anger and fear’ exploded. It was sharply erecting the angle until there was a current of dialogue with North Korea. In January 2018, when Chairman Kim Jong-un said in his New Year’s address that “the nuclear button is on the desk,” President Trump was hit by Twitter saying, “I have a bigger and more powerful nuclear button.”

Another target was Iran. In May 2018, President Trump officially declared withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal. Afterwards, in July, President Hassan Rohany said to Iran, “Never threaten the United States again. Otherwise, he sent a warning tweet saying, “You will experience something you have never experienced in history.” In addition, it was about this point that during the 2016 presidential election, special prosecutor Robert Mueller investigated the allegations that Trump Camp had colluded with Russia.

What’s the worst tweet? The Economist was the worst tweet, citing an article that accused him of “the mail voting system is a scam” before the US presidential election last year. Eventually, in the last month of his term, 471 tweets were labeled “false information” and were subject to restrictions on disclosure. Currently, his Twitter account still has a clear word for suspension.

In response, Twitter CEO Jack Dorothy said on the 13th (local time), “I don’t feel like congratulating or proud of the account suspension, but I believe this is the right decision.” Twitter’s stock price plummeted 6.4% on the 11th (local time) two days after the account was suspended, evaporating $2.625 billion (about 2.900 trillion won), but it remains suspended until now.
