Donald Trump has tweeted thousands of times during his presidency. These public statements are an increasingly important way through which Trump communicates his political and personal views. A better understanding of the way the American public consumes and responds to these tweets is therefore critical. In the present work, we address both consumption of and response to Trump's tweets by studying replies to them on Twitter. With respect to response, we find that a small number of older, white, left-leaning, and female Americans are responsible for the vast majority of replies to Trump's tweets. These individuals also attend to a broader range of Trump's tweets than the rest of the individuals we study. With respect to consumption, we note that Trump's tweets are often viewed not in isolation, but rather in the context of a set of algorithmically-curated replies. These replies may therefore color the way Americans consume Trump's tweets. To this end, we find some evidence that Twitter accounts see replies in line with their political leanings. However, we show that this can be largely, although not entirely, attributed to the fact that Twitter is more likely to show replies by accounts a user follows. As a basis for comparison, all results for Trump are compared and contrasted with replies to Joe Biden's tweets.

对特朗普推文回复的分析

唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在担任总统期间发了数千次推文。这些公开声明是特朗普表达其政治和个人观点的越来越重要的方式。因此，更好地了解美国公众消费和回应这些推文的方式至关重要。在当前的工作中，我们通过研究Twitter上对特朗普推文的回复来解决对特朗普推文的消费和回应。在回应方面，我们发现，对特朗普的推文的绝大多数回复都是由少数年龄较大，白人，左倾和女性美国人负责的。与我们研究的其他个人相比，这些个人还参加了特朗普的更多推文。关于消费，我们注意到，特朗普的推文经常被孤立看待，而是在一组经过算法处理的回复中。因此，这些答复可能会改变美国人消费特朗普推文的方式。为此，我们发现一些证据表明Twitter帐户看到的回复与其政治倾向相符。但是，我们表明，这在很大程度上（尽管不是全部）可以归因于Twitter更有可能显示用户遵循的帐户的回复。作为比较的基础，将对特朗普的所有结果进行了比较，并与对乔·拜登的推文的回复进行了对比。归因于这样一个事实，Twitter更可能显示用户遵循的帐户的回复。作为比较的基础，将对特朗普的所有结果进行了比较，并与对乔·拜登的推文的回复进行了对比。归因于这样一个事实，Twitter更可能显示用户遵循的帐户的回复。作为比较的基础，将对特朗普的所有结果进行了比较，并与对乔·拜登的推文的回复进行了对比。
