Trump Is Tweeting More, But Getting Less Reactions From Followers

Donald Trump
Axios' Neal Rothschild has taken a look at Donald Trump's Twitter account, and data from CrowdTangle shows his infamous tweets don't get the same reaction from supporters reports as they once did.

Trump's Twitter interaction rate — a measure of impact, given how much he tweets and how many people follow him — has noticeably declined.

The Donald's interaction rate fell from 0.55% in November 2016 to 0.32% in June 2017 — then down to 0.16% this month, through Saturday. 

The number crunchers looked at retweets and likes per tweet, divided by the size of his following.

Some think perhaps the novelty of his constant tweet storms may have worn off, but folks in the Trump camp say it's merely a brief lull before the 2020 election.

Trump is tweeting more, which could make individual tweets stand out less.

During his first six months in office, Trump tweeted 157 times per month. He's now upped his game to 284 tweets per month over the past six months. His biggest single month was 348 tweets in August 2018.

But that record is about to be broken as data shows he's already tweeted 343 times this month.
