  “The aides seek to cultivate the image of a man who understands ‘regular people.’ Mr. Trump's team believes that his unvarnished writing, poor punctuation and increasing profanity on Twitter signals authenticity — a contrast to” his rivals' feeds. https://www.nytimes.com/...

  You think you know Trump and Twitter, but this NYT analysis has so many crazy stats and details—like Scavino printing out proposed tweets in giant fonts, or the fact that Trump thinks high tweet engagement—often a sign people are horrified—means support for the content. https://t…

  You've probably never seen President Trump tweet in public. That's because he doesn't like to wear the reading glasses he needs to see his iPhone screen. But that hasn't stopped him from fully integrating Twitter into the very fabric of his administration. https://www.nytimes.com…

  1/ NEW: We examined each of President Trump's 11,000+ tweets (so you don't have to) and the ways he finds things on Twitter. What we discovered was alarming. w/ @karenyourish @larrybuch https://www.nytimes.com/...

  President Trump's tweets have helped spread a culture of suspicion and distrust of facts into the political mainstream. See how conspiracy-mongers, racists and spies have influenced what he absorbs and amplifies on Twitter. https://www.nytimes.com/...

  “Fewer than one-fifth of [Trump's Twitter] followers are voting-age Americans, according to a Times analysis of Pew Research national surveys of adults who use Twitter.” https://www.nytimes.com/...

  Early on, aides wanted to restrain President Trump's Twitter habit, even considering asking the company to impose a 15-minute delay on his tweets. That didn't happen. A barrage of personal attacks, bombast and outrage over more than 11,000 tweets did. https://www.nytimes.com/...

  By retweeting suspect accounts, seemingly without regard for their identities or motives, President Trump has lent credibility to white nationalists, anti-Muslim bigots and obscure QAnon adherents. https://www.nytimes.com/...

  President Trump attacks someone or something in more than half of his tweets https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  “In a series of informal conversations in early 2017, top White House officials discussed the possibility of a 15-minute delay on the president's account.” An alternate universe. https://www.nytimes.com/...

  Imagine spending your days in a closet-sized room off of the Oval Office, waiting for the president to beckon you by shouting your last name. All so you can tweet for him. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  Triumph of great journalism. Read that perfect, methodological research presented in an impeccably written article on how @realDonaldTrump uses #Twitter to generate power by deepening polarization and distrust in society. https://twitter.com/...

• @nytimes @nytimes on x

  Donald Trump tweeted his first attack as president on his third day in office. He has tweeted more attacks this year than he did in his first 2 years combined. In total, he has attacked at least 630 people and things in 5,889 tweets since taking office. https://www.nytimes.com/..…

  ‘...only about four percent of American adults, or about 11 million people, follow him on Twitter. Those followers represent less that one-fifth of his total [of 66 million], the analysis shows.’ Brilliant dissection of @realDonaldTrump's use of Twitter https://twitter.com/...

  We are going to spend the rest of our lives dealing with the effects of his decaying brain amplifying all these lies and all this hatred. The poison of white supremacy mixed with absurd, violent conspiracies will never subside. https://twitter.com/...

  I've only read the first of the four parts but this is an extraordinary (and depressing and distressing) investigation from the @nytimes on Donald Trump and Twitter. Full of jaw dropping moments. Essential reading. https://www.nytimes.com/...

• @brianstelter Brian Stelter on x

  The NYT is out with a huge new feature about Trump and Twitter. One part looks “inside the alternate reality of President Trump's Twitter account, where he absorbs and amplifies a noxious stream of disinformation.” https://www.nytimes.com/...

  Imagine what we are teaching our children. Is this your best role model, MAGA? https://twitter.com/...

  “Trump has retweeted at least 145 unverified accounts that have pushed conspiracy or fringe content” to his 66 million followers. “Trolls and fringe elements quickly figured out that the best way to reach Trump is to appeal to his ego.” https://www.nytimes.com/...

  Gonna start doing this when I get into arguments IRL, as part of a project to lose all my friends https://twitter.com/...

• @maggienyt Maggie Haberman on x

  In the Oval Office, an annoyed President Trump ended an argument he was having with his aides. He reached into a drawer, took out his iPhone and threw it on top of the historic Resolute Desk: “Do you want me to settle this right now?” https://www.nytimes.com/...

  @karenyourish @larrybuch 7/ This story is part of a package. Here's a great piece that dissects how Trump's tweeting has reshaped governing and how his aides initially tried to stop @shearm @maggieNYT @nickconfessore @karenyourish @larrybuch @collinskeith https://www.nytimes.com/…
