He’s Back – 9 Ways Former President Trump Tweets Smarter

By / 30 Comments /

Want to tweet smarter today? Love or hate him, former President Trump tweeted smarter. He appears harsh or quick-witted but he can get his point across when no one else will listen. Former President Trump tweets today on August 12, 2024 prior to his interview with Elon Musk at 8 pm.

That’s the beauty of Twitter X. You can express your opinion to your followers and others as your followers will share some of your posts on X.

Former President Trump had been on Twitter since March 2009. However, the former president was not new to Twitter. (But of course, in 2020 he was censored daily by the old Twitter and taken down completely as he was banned.)

But in November of 2022, Elon Musk re-instated his account on X. As of today, the former president has 88.1 million followers on X.

Since he was reinstated, he only posted once. But today on August 12, 2024 Trump tweets once again with several posts leading up to this LIVE event on X tonight.

Trump Tweets Today

This interview will be done on the X spaces audio platform on X. It was what Governor DeSantis used to announce his campaign in May of 2023 and experienced glitches on the network.

Let’s hope tonight’s experience will be glitch free though the volume of people on X may cause an old fail whale to return. We will soon find out!

How President Trump Posts On Twitter X

But turn on any newscasts on TV and what is the headline? It’s what former President Trump tweeted about years ago. It makes the news all the time.

Per media reports, Twitter Inc.’s TWTR live streaming of President Donald Trump’s inauguration saw record viewers.

Learn how you can tweet smarter now.

9 Ways To Tweet Smarter on X

1. Be Consistent on Twitter

Show up regularly on Twitter. Don’t just show up every other week. He has been on Twitter since March 2009.

He tweeted daily before and after becoming president. Some days former President Trump tweeted more than others.

The former president tweets as needed to keep his followers informed and more so as the mainstream media shut him off in the middle of speeches.

2. Tweet To Communicate Messages

Trying to get a message out to your readers or your audience? Tweet in a simple way so they too can share your message via the social network.

Notice that former President Trump has tweeted this one over and over.

3. Make Some Tweets Personal To Tweet Smarter

The former President Donald Trump puts his personal touches on his tweets. They are not just standard tweets or retweets.

He tweets from his heart. He tweets about his family if it is relevant to his topics.

Note: He doesn’t tweet about what he eats.

Think about how you can add more personality and personal things into your posts on the X platform.

4. Tweet Fearlessly

Don’t be afraid to tweet what you believe in. (Except business accounts, you may want to be careful on those.) Former President Trump is not afraid to tweet what he believes in.

He tweeted fearlessly prior to becoming the President of the United States and he continues to do so. He calls out the “fake” news as he sees it.

Do you post with fear? Many have since censorship took over on many of the social networks.

Sadly, even more stopped posting about what they believe in.

5. Tag Others When Appropriate To Tweet Smarter

Former President Trump tags others when a topic is relevant to them. It’s a great way to be sure someone sees your tweet.

It doesn’t leave it to chance. Do you know how X Twitter timelines move fast and furious? Don’t leave your important tweets to chance.

Send them several times hours or days apart depending on their relevancy of them and the amount of followers you have.

6. Use Images and Videos in Your Tweets

Notice how former President Trump uses images in many of his tweets to get his message out. He does this about 25% of the time when tweeting. Tweets with images or videos do get more retweets and likes.

It can also increase the engagement of the tweets. This X Twitter tip will surely help you to tweet smarter.

7. Give Tweeting Compliments

Learn to give compliments to others in your tweets. People love to be praised, especially publicly like on the Twitter network.

Former President Trump’s tweets are often read in newscasts and pointed out all through social media. His compliments go far and wide.

Your compliments can too if you tweet smarter and compliment your influencers. Just be sure they are genuine.

8. Tweet Genuinely

Former President Trump tweets smarter by being genuine. Love or hate him, he is not changing for the fanbase. He remains genuine in his tweets.

He tweets what he believes in and what he feels. I think it’s neat to see his tweets since the mainstream media rarely covers him anymore.

9. Promote Yourself (or Your Brand) on Twitter X

Promote yourself or your brand on Twitter X. Who else will do it for you? Don’t promote your brand in every tweet, but up to 20% of your tweets can be promotional.

Former President Trump promoted his interviews in his own tweets. That’s tweeting smart.

(Tweeting is now called posting on the X network.)

His posts will get reshared by some followers as well. It will spread the right news for him. It can do the same for you.

What Else Can We Learn From Trump Tweets?

Do not leave any tweets to chance. There was one tweet recently where he tweeted easy D and people thought the D meant many things. The takeaway?

Be clear in your tweets! Don’t abbreviate unless it is CLEAR as a bell. Do not let others take your tweets the wrong way and use them against you.

So tweeting or posting with clarity is an extra tip on how to tweet smarter.

The Most Liked Tweets Of All Time From Trump

The most liked tweets from the former president was this one:

It will be interesting to see if the post he tweeted last night will surpass the 1.5 million likes and 11.5 million bookmarks.  As of this blog post update it is getting close to those most liked tweet numbers.

That’s another new X Twitter thing – bookmarks are being counted. It may have an impact on the algorithm and how far your posts will go on the X network. However, you can no longer see others bookmarks on X.

Conclusion: Tweet Smarter

Do you think you can learn to tweet smarter on X by following in former President Trump’s tweeting footsteps? What do you like or dislike about the former President’s posts?

(Many believe he tweeted too much and didn’t know when to stop tweeting, I would agree with that one.) Another tip we can learn to tweet smarter. Don’t overpost.

  2. Russell Frazier

    Lisa, I especially like #7, Tweeting Compliments. This is great for sales teams too. Tweet compliments, congratulations on deals won or other successes. It’s good for morale and shows you appreciate the people around you.

  3. Linda Hobbis

    Well The Donald certainly does love Twitter. Here in the UK lots of us are open mouthed at some of the stuff he tweets though! I can’t imagine Theresa May being quite so cavalier.

    1. Lisa

      Hi Linda, welcome to Inspire to Thrive. Yes he certainly does love using Twitter. In a way we can’t blame him as the media is not giving him fair coverage. He has to get his word out there, unfiltered. Does Theresa May use Twitter? Thanks for coming by Linda and have a great weekend.

    Hello Lisa,

    It is wonderful how you have interpreted that we need to pick and choose the good ones among all bad characteristics. These are some good ways to improve how we tweet. Thanks for listing out, will definitely put to use.

    1. Lisa

    Hey Lisa,

    I guess I am late to the party.

    I have read many tweets by President Trump and he really knows how to engage people.

    Those personal tweets can really boost your Twitter growth. Using images and videos is a plus point. Though I don’t use any video but will give a try soon.

    How about you? What’s your success formula for Twitter? I always wanted to master it.

    Thanks for sharing with us.
    Enjoy your day.
    ~Ravi

    1. Lisa

      Hi Ravi, it’s never too late. I don’t use video much either Ravi, something I have a hard time with especially videoing of myself. I do use a lot of images and gifs though. I find if you spend a little time on Twitter, use your lists and use a little automation tool like the Buffer to tweet out throughout the day is pretty much my formula today. Of course engage with others there too. Thanks for coming by Ravi and have yourself a great day ahead!

    Hello Lisa

    I especially like the content of this post. I have spent a great deal of time working on building my Twitter following and credibility and it is essential to only follow high-quality contributors. It’s essential to periodically go through those you’re following and assess whether they are valuable to have as a follower.

    Understanding hashtags is imperative in order to adequately provide your well thought out content to the conversations you’re seeking to contribute to. Once establishing a following within a hashtag and gaining credibility amongst fellow contributors, it becomes easier to gain a following within the community as well as overall increased probability of respect.

    1. Lisa

      Hi Anuradha, welcome to Inspire to Thrive. Oh yes, you must clean up those folks you followed years ago to see if they are still active on Twitter. Yes, hashtags are key too on Twitter as are images and content. President Trump seems to use Hashtags often and they surely help reach more people on their searches. Many searches on Google show tweets now too . Thanks for coming by and have a great rest of the week Anuradha.

  7. Nishant

    Hi Lisa, Nice tricks on Twitter.

    I really agree with your point. Tweets with quirky images are more shared on twitter. Twitter is a social platform to send short messages that can convey a bigger story. Using the relevant/ trendy #tags and tagging the right people will help us to reach millions of people.

  8. Nimesh

    Hey Lisa, really interesting post. There are lots of things that can be learned from this blog!
    Being a personal brand or a business competing with digital transformation and social media, consistency is a must thing to have when it comes to communication with your customers.
    And Yes, “We live in a world that’s in love with videos.” Engagement can be brought through media attached with tweets for sure.

    1. Lisa

      Hi Nimesh, welcome to Inspire to Thrive. Oh yes, consistency is key and many lose it after several months. Many start out blogging or on Twitter and within months gave up. President Trump has been strong on Twitter since 2009. Thanks for coming by and have a great day!

  11. Martin Lindeskog

    Lisa: Regarding your sentence: “He doesn’t tweet about what he eats.” Didn’t he tweet about Trump Tower tacos on Cinco de Mayo?

    1. Lisa

      Hi Martin, you got me on that one. But it was relevant for that day. He doesn’t tweet about food unless it’s relevant. I should have been clearer on that one. Thanks for coming by and have a great day!

  14. Cori Ramos

    Hi Lisa,

    Great post! Now who would have thought President Trump would teach us something about tweeting – but the way you laid it out here, I can see it now.

    I was reading Bren’s comment about other companies following suit by keeping us updating on what’s new in their company and I totally agree with her.

    Thanks for putting this together for us! Have a great day and week!

    Cori

    1. Lisa

      Hi Cori, LOL, right? But seriously he can tweet smart and we can also learn from one of his mistakes. Don’t leave any abbreviations for chance, people were all over that one. Thanks for coming by Cori and have a great day! Happy Valentine’s Day.

  15. Bren Pace

    Hey Lisa!

    Love, Love, Love your post, especially because it’s our NEW President! You go girl! I think we can all take tips from him because he DOES make his points clear as day. I believe that is one reason why many will hate on him for tweeting. However, times are changing. We had a rapping First Lady with Mrs. O, and Mr. O was ALWAYS on some tv talk show, so why not promote what you’re most passionate about on Twitter?

    I follow our President on Twitter and Facebook because he is keeping us well-informed of what he’s doing, what direction our Country is going in, and what he’s doing to make it better. Can you image if some of our big name Companies would do that? Like having Hewlett Packard share what is happening in their company, what’s coming, and what they are doing to make their product greater?

    I’m all for it and enjoy the President’s tweets. We could all take tips from him imo.

    Great post, girl! Happy Sunday!

    B

    1. Lisa

      Thanks Brenda. That’s true, promote what you are passionate about for sure! That is a really good point, companies could do that too – even share with their employees as long as it’s public knowledge. Businesses and people could really learn from his tweets if they wasn’t so much hate going around out there. Thanks again Brenda and hope you had a great weekend!
