Document Summary

Trump putting things in tweets that no one puts in tweets. No one really writes the same as they speak. The word like is mostly a spoken word not written, as it"s a filler word. Trump"s tweet team write his tweets to appeal to his followers, who appreciate a less educated dialogue. We are socially constructed as individuals though not accepted by every anthropologist, it is good food for thought. What is real and not real is important even in the political realm. What is real is increasingly challenged, it is hard to tell the fact between a lie and truth.
