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. That’s the beauty of Twitter X. You can express your opinion to your followers.
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.)
But in November of 2022, Elon Musk re-instated his account on X. As of today, he has 86.8 million followers. But since he has Truth Social he claims he would not use Twitter. (I think his ego is big and he should reconsider that move.) Maybe he listened?
That all changed on August 24, 2023 with his mug shot. News travelled fast that Trump Tweets today.

Twitter X makes it easier to get your messages out. On Facebook, you have to be friends. Other social sites you need to have followers to reach others or only post in groups which may narrow your reach.
Then there are the algorithm changes on Facebook so frequently that not everyone will see your posts. Even Facebook friends can miss your posts if they don’t comment or like any of your previous ones.
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
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 President Trump tweeted more than others.
He 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 President Trump has tweeted this one over and over.
Tweet your messages multiple times as they may not be seen by all just once. And some Twitter messages can be personal.
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

3. Make Some Tweets Personal
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.
.@FoxNews daytime is not watchable. In a class with CNN & MSDNC. Check out @OANN, @newsmax and others that are picking up the slack. Even a boring football game, kneeling and all, is better!

My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person — always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 8, 2017
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.) 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.
The Radical Left is in total command & control of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Google. The Administration is working to remedy this illegal situation. Stay tuned, and send names & events. Thank you Michelle! https://t.co/ZQfcfD3Hk9
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 16, 2020
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
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 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 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 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. President Trump’s tweets are often read in newscasts and pointed out all through social media. His compliments go far.

8. Tweet Genuinely
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.
I call my own shots, largely based on an accumulation of data, and everyone knows it. Some FAKE NEWS media, in order to marginalize, lies!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 6, 2017
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.
