WH Social Media Boss: Ghost Writers Don't Pen Trump Tweets

WH Social Media Boss: Ghost Writers Don't Pen Trump Tweets

By    |   Wednesday, 23 May 2018 12:50 PM EDT

The White House Director of Social Media has hit back at a Boston Globe article claiming that staff members often write the messages that President Donald Trump posts on Twitter, and even load them up with grammatical errors to appear authentic.

"WRONG. 100% Trump," Dan Scavino wrote in capital letters in his own tweet, calling the Globe’s story "fake news."

He also tore into what he said was the inaccuracy of @TrumpOrNotBot, a Twitter account that rates the authenticity of Tweets sent via Trump’s personal account.

Annie Linskey’s Globe article stated, in part: "The hallmark of President Trump’s Twitter feed is that it sounds like him — grammatical miscues and all. But it’s not always Trump tapping out a Tweet, even when it sounds like his voice. West Wing employees who draft proposed tweets intentionally employ suspect grammar and staccato syntax in order to mimic the president’s style, according to two people familiar with the process."
