I have been struck by the number of accounts supporting Trump that appear to be either bots or part of a slick marketing campaign. Many of them have glossy photoshopped backgrounds that include Trump, Pence and American imagery. The tweets are vociferous and highly partisan. It's actually a little overwhelming and has pushed me away from the platform.

Why do you think they're bots? Because they have nicknames? Good branding is now a sign of automation? Lol
