论文摘要
唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在担任总统期间发了数千次推文。这些公开声明是特朗普传达其政治和个人观点的越来越重要的方式。因此，更好地了解美国公众消耗和回应这些推文的方式至关重要。在目前的工作中，我们通过在Twitter上研究对特朗普的推文的消费和对特朗普的推文的反应。在反应方面，我们发现少数年长，白人，左倾和女性美国人对特朗普的推文的绝大多数答复负责。这些人还比我们学习的其他人都参与了更广泛的特朗普推文。关于消费，我们注意到特朗普的推文通常不是孤立的，而是在一系列算法策划的答复中。因此，这些答复可能会像美国人消费特朗普的推文一样使他们着色。为此，我们找到了一些证据，表明Twitter帐户看到与他们的政治倾向一致的答复。但是，我们表明这可能很大程度上，尽管并非完全是归因于Twitter更有可能通过用户遵循的帐户显示答复的事实。作为比较的基础，比较了特朗普的所有结果，并与乔·拜登的推文的答复形成鲜明对比。
Donald Trump has tweeted thousands of times during his presidency. These public statements are an increasingly important way through which Trump communicates his political and personal views. A better understanding of the way the American public consumes and responds to these tweets is therefore critical. In the present work, we address both consumption of and response to Trump's tweets by studying replies to them on Twitter. With respect to response, we find that a small number of older, white, left-leaning, and female Americans are responsible for the vast majority of replies to Trump's tweets. These individuals also attend to a broader range of Trump's tweets than the rest of the individuals we study. With respect to consumption, we note that Trump's tweets are often viewed not in isolation, but rather in the context of a set of algorithmically-curated replies. These replies may therefore color the way Americans consume Trump's tweets. To this end, we find some evidence that Twitter accounts see replies in line with their political leanings. However, we show that this can be largely, although not entirely, attributed to the fact that Twitter is more likely to show replies by accounts a user follows. As a basis for comparison, all results for Trump are compared and contrasted with replies to Joe Biden's tweets.
