Someone did a linguistic analysis and demonstrated that there are two writers of Trump's tweets. Trump's were all the crazy ones, his handler's were all of the moderate ones and the ones that walked back what was said previously.

- travmatt 9y agoOther people have done longitudinal analyses and have talked about how there was also a shift in ~2011 as he launched the birther movement.
- c3534l 9y agoTrump didn't "launch the birther movement" which started before Obama even got the Democratic nomination, let alone as late as 2011.
