Much of Trump’s presidency was defined by his aggressive use of Twitter, now known as X.
And we just learned about Trump’s tweet-writing process.
Westerhout testifies that Trump often wrote his own tweets. A communications staffer, Dan Scavino, also had access to the @realDonaldTrump account.
When Scavino wasn’t around, Westerhout would have to help Trump craft a tweet.
Though he was an avid Twitter user, Trump preferred to summon her and dictate his posts, she tells the court.
Westerhout would have to take notes, quickly type up the draft, and print it out for him.
Occasionally Trump would have more edits.
She tells the court she soon learned what made a signature Trump tweet.
“My recollection is there are certain words he liked to capitalise. Words like ‘country’. He liked to use exclamation points,” she said.
“It is my understanding that he liked to use the Oxford comma,” she adds.
