It’s all too familiar to us now. The alarmist tone, the arbitrary capitalization, the authoritative “hot take” on a complex issue squeezed awkwardly into 140 characters. This is the @realDonaldTrump of today, and it was born on July 6, 2011, at 10:38 AM.
The difference before and after is stark. A majority of Trump’s tweets over the following few months are overtly political, criticizing then President Obama — who went virtually unmentioned on his feed until this day — criticizing Republicans, and particularly ripping into John Boehner, then the Republican Speaker of the House. Here we also finally see those frantic typos we’ve become so accustomed to, something that would rarely happen when Trump’s marketing braintrust was apparently calling the shots. His number of followers steadily grew ever since, surpassing 40 million earlier this month.
Though I dont think the tone of the article was intended to be complementary, stuff like this made me laugh. And the earlier points were just as (perhaps unintentionally) solid.
They made the point thats its clear Trump the man is tweeting on his own account and saying whatever first piqued his interest. Contrast with all the fake and stage managed accounts of other political figures that they probably have very little control over or input into their own accounts. A direct analogy for how they conduct themselves in politics.. fake 'consensus' using the talking heads of crooked, or biden or hussein giving the teleprompter pablum responses they have been ordered to.. versus Trump going right for the throat.

Or even complimentary. ;)
