Trump's midnight Truth Social posting spree was filled with foreign users posing as MAGA influencers

The X user Caroline is based in South Asia and downloaded the X app from an Android device there. Yet, the user’s page is filled with praise for Trump and his allies. One of their posts claims they “can’t wait” to vote for Vice President JD Vance.

The X user, Victoria Byrne, is also based in South Asia and downloaded the X app from the West Asia app store. Yet the account’s bio claims to be a “#trump2024 conservative.”

A repost from Sebastian, a man complaining about the unfairness of the United States judicial system, is also based in South Asia. Among his many Trump-praising tweets, he has encouraged potential voters to align themselves with MAGA Republicans.

Trump also reposted a tweet from Gabriel praising a TikToker who denounced the Democratic Party. In his X bio, Gabriel says, “GOD BLESS AMERICA AND TRUMP,” yet the account is also based in South Asia. The account has also undergone at least 17 username changes.

This is the first I've heard of the X accounts Trump reposts on Truth Social being foreign accounts.

1. Foreign accounts had been identified recently but this is the first I heard of Trump specifically reposting them

Trump probably has people on his team making his posts in coordination with someone who also directs the foreign accounts who may be Kremlin operatives abroad.

3. Russian and Chinese.

China is probably going to reap the greatest long-term gains from Trump's actions. They have a strong incentive to keep MAGA politicians in power.

2. I clicked on all of the links

Sadly that means that they have a larger viewership because of me and this article

PatriotTakes exposed a couple last month

Twitter says the “News Barron Trump” account has over 580K followers is based in Eastern Europe (Non-EU).

Here is one of the account’s posts supporting “Trump’s tariffs that protect our country.”

X implemented some "location" feature that allows people to see the account origins.

Daily Beast had an article on it last month - Top MAGA Influencers Accidentally Unmasked as Foreign Trolls

also the NYT - X Displays Users’ Locations, Fueling Scrutiny Over Political Accounts

5. I knew lots of X accounts supporting Trump were foreign. I didn't know he reposted them on Truth Social.

I thought he was probably reposting other Truth Social accounts there.

6. His X account had been restored some time ago

so he (or probably his "handlers" ) are apparently monitoring that and could just screenshot them (or whatever they do with them) and forward/repost.
