I calculate twitter ratio as replies divided by favorites and not retweets, because I have found many people ironically retweet Trump’s tweets. But I doubt anyone favorites his tweets ironically. Given below is his twitter ratio calculated weekly. The trend line shows that his twitter ratio has been gradually increasing at a slow rate. However, this may be because his twitter ratio was abnormally low in the first couple of weeks of his presidency. What I found more striking is the wild variations in the ratio (changes by almost 2x). I think its reflective of the chaotic nature of his presidency where a storm is always brewing anytime there is some quiet.
Given below are the top 25 tweets with the worst twitter ratio.
…to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year’s Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no! |
