Early Saturday morning, President Trump tweeted his gratitude to a social-media super-fan, ­Nicole Mincey, magnifying her praise of him to his 35 million followers.

Here’s the problem: There is no evidence the Twitter feed belongs to someone named Nicole Mincey. And the account, according to experts, bears a lot of signs of a Russia-backed disinformation campaign.

On Sunday, Twitter suspended the Mincey account, known as @ProTrump45, after several other users revealed that it was probably a fake, created to amplify pro-Trump content.






The curious case of ‘Nicole Mincey,’ the Trump fan who may actually be a Russian bot

So you encourage Russian meddling against our POTUS.

Treasonous.

Well there's the collusion we've been wondering about.

Wrap up the SC and the investigations. You've broken the case.

Twitter also allows a bunch of sketchy "verified accounts" with 5k-20k followers to comment on all of Trump's shite even though he's blocked them (and they brag about being blocked in their bios). Twitter is a very corrupt, fricked up company and that's why they're going down the drain

Yeah that kind of sucks, but it could be worse. Our president could shite her pants and take money from countries that throw gay people off rooftops.

Seriously terrible. Unbelievable that the president cannot personally know the identity of all 328 million people on twitter. I bet Obama knew each one by name. And he dropped presents at each of their houses for Christmas. Trump sucks.
