论文摘要
过去的十年见证了政客使用社交媒体的明显增加，最著名的是美国第45位总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的例证。在Twitter上，POTUS消息始终吸引高水平的参与度，如喜欢，转发和答复。在这里，我们量化了这些活动的平衡，也称为“比率”，并研究其动力作为响应总统交流的集体政治参与的代理。我们发现，在2016年大选之前的此期间，原始活动数量增加，并伴随着与竞选活动和管理之间的过渡有关的转发与复兴之比的政权变化。对于特朗普的帐户，我们发现与假新闻有关的单词，而穆勒的询问更为常见，这些推文与转推有关的回复很大。最后，我们发现巴拉克·奥巴马（Barack Obama）的转发比率始终比唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）更高。这些结果表明，特朗普的Twitter帖子常常引起争议，并且在给定的新闻周期的持久参与中受到影响。
The past decade has witnessed a marked increase in the use of social media by politicians, most notably exemplified by the 45th President of the United States (POTUS), Donald Trump. On Twitter, POTUS messages consistently attract high levels of engagement as measured by likes, retweets, and replies. Here, we quantify the balance of these activities, also known as "ratios", and study their dynamics as a proxy for collective political engagement in response to presidential communications. We find that raw activity counts increase during the period leading up to the 2016 election, accompanied by a regime change in the ratio of retweets-to-replies connected to the transition between campaigning and governing. For the Trump account, we find words related to fake news and the Mueller inquiry are more common in tweets with a high number of replies relative to retweets. Finally, we find that Barack Obama consistently received a higher retweet-to-reply ratio than Donald Trump. These results suggest Trump's Twitter posts are more often controversial and subject to enduring engagement as a given news cycle unfolds.
