Let's make this easier for the liberals and roll two conspiracy theories into one. Since all we are doing here is making unsubstantiated claims why not? The Russians paid for the fake Twitter followers on Trump's behalf because he is working for the Russians.

I don't inherently disbelieve that a lot of people on Twitter in general are "bots", though I'd like to see the criteria for what the article defines as bots. Two of my three accounts were fake accounts, I posted on two of them, and one I just used as sort of a news feed for updated discounts/deals, concert info, and stuff like that.

 

But, the other assertion is that this amount of followers Trump has is in some way due to himself, to the point where he pays these "bots" to follow him. Proof needed for both claims. My expectations of getting this proof are rock bottom given the awful criteria of what counts as proof to some people.

I don't follow Twitter at all.  Does this matter?

  

   That he has 15 million fake followers doesn't matter and is not all that surprising. I would say the fact that 15 million real people actually think he's worth listening to is more curious.

This could be said about almost everyone on Twitter.

  Haven't heard, but it looks like he was asleep at the wheel. Given the alternatives, probably not a bad place to be.
