Because it's not Tump. Not sure about a "scam" icon, probably more like "fan" or something, if true. Didn't check I admit.
Says you, who opened a thread linking to an msm article... lmao
Oh the irony lol
It mentions telegram deletes accounts or chats.
If you hang around telegram long enough you will get lists of chats like Al Qaeda, hebollah, Isis etc.
We all try to ban them and get their chats removed. It's digital warfare on telegram as well
Trump isnt on Telgram
I don’t trust anything MSM says. Could be true but sounds like disinformation. Nonetheless, I didn’t think Trump has a telegram Acct. Someone confirm?
I dont think he does thats probably why the icon is there its a fake account AKA a scam
Longer than that; I'm in June of 2020 of his posts, and his single media is from 2019. I'm seeing if I can get to the start of the feed.
It's relatively simple to set up twitter reposting bots on Telegram. There's literally a Bot API on Telegram.
Yes, I agree, but am still suspicious. Her "bio" says it's not connected to her at all. A diversion, of sorts?
Tell me about it. ?
Looking at a Trump tweet and clicking on @kloeffler got me to an Iranian Pro-Trump Community! Although I don't speak Farsi, they said I should use Google Translator to see what they were saying!
Scrolled back (so far) to June 28.... It's his Twitter feed, basically.
So.. I call horseshit!
This logic forces us to hold all unconfirmed accounts as unconfirmed, just because someone re-posts press-releases and tweets doesn't mean it's legit.
What about the gab Trump account we know is restored tweets? It's as legit as the Telegram account in question.
IMO that's unfortunate. I think a "Mirror" tag would be more suited. But mirroring what? Always mirroring Twitter, fine. Suddenly posting other platforms? Well, it gets iffy for users to discern where the info is coming from. Twitter, the WH, posted directly on Telegram?
Well, let's report them then. In my experience, running several groups on Telegram myself reported scammers are thrown off the platform, not tagged.
