Trump Elbows Back Into Twitter-Verse
In what seems to be an act of desperation to rejuvenate his wilting presidential campaign, Donald Trump has returned to his favorite social media platform, Twitter. With an apparent intent to drum up support, he questioned his followers whether they were better off before his presidency, highlighting issues such as the shattered economy and erased borders.
Recreating the 2016 Glory
Ironically, Trump isn’t bringing anything new to the table. The unsuccessful presidential candidate is resorting to old methods, recycling nicknames, locations, and talking points, in a bid to replicate the 2016 election scenario. With Trump on the losing end against Kamala Harris, speculation is rife about the return of some familiar faces from the 2016 campaign staff like Kellyanne Conway.
The ‘Magic’ of Twitter and the Trump Mirage
For the ex-president, Twitter has always been a special platform. He believed that his Twitter account contributed significantly to his victory in 2016. However, this viewpoint seems flawed as a 2016 study revealed that nearly 30% of his Twitter followers were fake. Nevertheless, the desolation and desperation surrounding his campaign have driven him back to the platform, hoping for a miracle repeat of the previous election.
Attempt to Steal the Spotlight
In a clear approach to claw his way back into the spotlight and stymie Harris’s momentum, Trump is also setting up an interview with Elon Musk. Musk, who has a vested interest in reviving the social media platform he owns, sees this as a mutual opportunity for attention. At the same time, Trump strives to distract public eye from Harris and refocus it onto himself.
Twitter Over Outreach
Instead of traditional campaigning tactics or engaging with voters, Trump has fixated on Twitter as his primary method of communication. While this may be deemed as lazy or unimaginative, it remains to be one thing – unlikely to save his dwindling campaign credentials.
As we move closer to the elections, it remains interesting to see whether Trump’s desperate measures will turn tides in his favor or sink his campaign further. The coming weeks will definitely shed more light on the future of his political stint.
Conclusion
While Twitter may have played a significant role in catapulting Trump into presidency during the 2016 election, experts believe it’s going to take more than tweets to save his floundering campaign this time around. From recycling his old campaign strategies to attempting to steal the spotlight from Harris, Trump’s attempts seem like a desperate cry for attention. Despite it all, his campaign continues to struggle amidst public scrutiny and competition from other strong contenders. The coming weeks will determine if Trump’s Twitter strategy will pay off or backfire.
