A behind-the-scenes video explains how Donald Trump creates his social media posts, including live reactions and strategic insights, in a revealing behind-the-scenes video.
The footage, part of the “Art of the Surge: The Donald Trump Comeback” series on the Tucker Carlson Network, gives viewers a unique look at Trump’s campaign and engagement with significant events.
The second episode features Trump as he reacts live to Kamala Harris’s speech at the Democratic National Convention in August. It shows Trump in a room with his campaign team—Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard, Dan Scavino, Stephen Miller, and Susie Wiles—watching the speech on Fox News. As Harris repeatedly expresses her gratitude, Trump comments with a mix of amusement and critique, “Is she crazy? Too many ‘Thank yous’…Must be 35.”
Interestingly, Trump doesn’t handle typing or posting his remarks directly. Instead, he dictates his responses, which his assistant, Natalie Harpe, types and uploads to Truth Social, where he boasts over 8 million followers.
In response to Harris’s comments on her upbringing, Trump directs his team, saying, “A lot of talk about childhood, we’ve got to get to the Border, Inflation, and Crime,” and instructs them to “send these out.”
Another dictated post from Trump critiques Harris’s reference to San Francisco: “She’s talking about how great San Francisco was before she destroyed it, probably not a good idea!” This method confirms that, although Trump doesn’t physically type his posts, the content is authentically his.
The series further illustrates how Trump formulates his posts by watching news coverage, receiving feedback from advisers, and translating their ideas into his unique style. Trump’s approach to social media remains distinctive across various platforms, including X and Truth Social, characterized by unusual capitalizations, direct insults at political rivals, and a stream-of-consciousness style that resonates with his audience.
