Donald Trump's Twitter Accounts and Social Media Use

This podcast episode discusses the use of social media, particularly Twitter, by former President Donald Trump. Trump had two Twitter accounts, @POTUS and @realDonaldTrump, and used them extensively during his presidency. He had over 80 million followers and sent thousands of tweets. However, his accounts were eventually banned. The podcast explores the significance and impact of Trump's social media presence, including how he used Twitter as a platform for communication, announcements, and even personal rebukes of his advisors. It also highlights the irony of Trump's claim that nobody could hack his account, as it was hacked into three times. The episode features interviews with the hackers who accessed Trump's account and discusses the responsible disclosure of the vulnerability to Trump and Twitter.
