Always that Donald Trump used Twitter a newspaper wrote a new article. They were also a great source of conflict and controversy, just read the replies to any tweet he sent.

Trump tweets and Twitter account analysis

The dates of the analysis were since May 4th 2009 until the 7th of January 2,021. We analyzed a lot of info and we can say: Trump + Twitter, what a combination! He was probably the President in the world that used Twitter the most. And when we say “used” it means he did it personally, he did not seem to have a team of people managing the account for him.

If you’d like to analyze Trump tweets, you should write from:realdonaldtrump in the search box. As that is nos possible anymore, you can create a Twitter account analysis for any other account with our exclusive Twitter user tracker:

Evolution of tweets sent by Donald Trump since 2009

Donald Trump Twitter’s account was opened in 2009. Since then he has sent almost 47K original tweets. In the next chart you will see how he has been using his official account @realDonaldTrump since then. If we take a look at Trump’s account since 2009, the year he opened his account, until there is data the evolution is quite interesting (kind of crazy if you think about it):

Donald Trump has always used his personal Twitter account @realDonaldTrump instead of the one from the official for the US Presidency @Potus. Former President Barack Obama used to have a team running his accounts. Whenever he sent a tweet personally, he added its signature to it so the audience would know. Trump tweets today are considered a great source of information. We have to say that this analysis is based on real Trump tweets, they are not fake or made up, those are tweets sent by Trump himself.

What is Twitter?

First things first. If you haven’t been much active on the Internet for the last ten years, then you probably don’t know about Twitter. This is a very highly-unlikely option, but we’re still taking it into consideration. So, what is twitter? Twitter is a social media network where people communicate with each other, post what they think, think what they post, share ideas, news, and so on.

What are tweets and retweets?

Twitter wouldn’t be a Twitter without a tweet. Tweets are the actual posts you post on Twitter, it’s a form of short message that you can get across on the platform, and that people can react to. Tweets are usually very short, they have a limited number of characters that you can not exceed. These tweets can be liked, can be retweeted, and can be replied to. Retweets are a way of repeating what other users have tweeted. So, instead of copying and pasting a tweet and indicating the author, with just a click you can replicate their tweets.

Why do people use Twitter?

The answer is simple: because they can. Why do people use Facebook, Instagram, and all of the other social media networks they can come across? Because they want and they can. Twitter is an amazing social media network that anyone can use, whether they’re regular people or businessmen.

Twitter is easy-to-use, innovative, and it’s free! All you have to do is sign-up using your email or whatever, and voilà, you’ve got a Twitter account that you can now share things on. People also use Twitter because you can follow anyone: artists, singers, newspapers, magazines… And they also use it because their friends use it and they want to communicate with them on it.

Having a Twitter account means that you’re up-to-date with social media. It will help you to stay aware of things that are trending, and even communicate with new people that may come in handy later. So, after you sign-up, make sure to start following your friends, celebrities, magazine, and all that, this way you can make sure that your twitter feed will be always full. An empty Twitter feed is a boring one, and if you ever come across someone you don’t like or don’t want to appear on your feed, then you can simply unfollow them.

It’s easy, and it’s free.

How a tweet becomes the most retweeted tweet?

Getting retweets on Twitter is awesome and it is also very fun. But if you’re a business-man, then it’s vital for your business. Increasing your reach and impressions is every businessman goal on Twitter. Getting more retweets, means more impressions and reach, which means more exposure to your business and eventually more sales. It’s a simple equation, and that is why most companies try to climb on every Twitter trend, so they can get a piece of the pie too.

So, how to get more retweets? Here are our simple pieces of advice on how to do it:

  • Tweet between 10 and 11 pm, that when people are most active.
  • Use hashtags, this one is pretty obvious but it does the job very well.
  • Tweet on Sundays, people are free on Sundays, so, that means more Twitter time.
  • Use pictures, they are amazingly hooking, and they’ll get the job done.
  • Don’t use the shortcut and use “RT”, go big and use “Retweet” .
  • Use exclamation marks, they usually get people’s attention better.
  • Use uppercase, WOULD YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THIS or to this? You got your answer.

Twitter is genuinely easy to use, if you implement these tricks then you will be able to get more retweets, slowly but surely.

How To Find The Most Retweeted Tweet?

This is a very simple process. In order to see the most popular tweets, we need to use the Twitter advanced search commands. These are very useful and we have spoken several times about them. The advanced search can be easily used in Tweet Binder and it helps us to narrow down our reports.

To find the most retweeted tweet we need to use the following command “min_retweets:XXX” where XXX has to be a number. So, for example, imagine that we want to find the most popular tweet about Game of Thrones. We would need to type #GOT min_retweets:10000. This will give us tweets that have at least 10,000 retweets.

Most retweeted tweets of all times

The person that has, as of now, the highest number of retweets is actually a Japanese billionaire. His name is Yusaku Maezawa and he has made the internet go crazy because of one single tweet. His company celebrated 80 billion euros and he decided to celebrate this by giving 100 people 8000€ each. To win this prize, you had to follow him and retweet that tweet, and he would’ve chosen the winners randomly and handed them their prize. Is it cheating? Maybe… But it has got the job done because he’s got the most retweeted tweet right now.
