It goes without saying that Donald Trump is quite the character on social media.
In fact, the lore runs so deep that there's an entire Wikipedia page dedicated to his social media usage called 'Social media use by Donald Trump'.
The President-elect first garnered worldwide attention over his usage of social media thanks to his Twitter account which ultimately became an official correspondence during his first presidency, with the White House stating that his tweets should be considered as official statements.

Beyond the sheer fact of how much Trump used Twitter, it was also the way he tweeted that got everyone's attention with numerous posts going up every day, a wild use of all capital letters stringing his tweets together, and a very lucid no-effs given aura radiating off each tweet.
Although Trump was banned from the platform in 2021, Elon Musk reinstated his account after buying Twitter and turning it into X. But the President-Elect hasn't been all that active on Twitter these days opting for his own platform, Truth Social, instead.
Now, you've probably asked yourself whilst reading one of Trump's many social media posts, how does he write these? Where does he find the time for it? Is it really him posting all of this stuff?
Clearly, it's not and a behind-the-scenes look at Trump's recent presidential campaign shows how it's really done.
Art of the Surge: The Donald Trump Comeback is a documentary series being released on Twitter that dives into Trump's 2024 presidential campaign.
In the second episode, audiences get to see Trump live-react to Kamala Harris' speech at the Democratic National Convention back in August and learn how he posts his thoughts to Truth Social.
Watch the clip from the episode below:
So it seems that Trump doesn't really do any of the typing or posting himself, but dictates the posts and has an assistant type them out and post for him.
It also seems that he listens to the feedback from his campaign advisers, gets inspired, and re-words their ideas quickly into a post.
So while it may not be Trump physically writing them and posting them, his posts are all still his own words. I have no clue if an assistant follows him around all day to get his posts up, or if they have a dedicated hour to coming up with posts, but we at least have a semblance of an idea of how it all happens.
