Thereâs Something Odd About Donald Trumpâs Facebook Page Donald Trump has more followers on Facebook than any other candidate, but most are from developing countries.
Donald Trump is running for president and whatever you think of his chances of picking up votes, on social media, few candidates trump The Donald.
Yet, thereâs something strange about a lot of his online fans. Only 42 percent of Trumpâs 1,694,561 followers on Facebook are American, while most come from developing nations like the Philippines, Malaysia, India, South Africa, Indonesia and Colombia, a Vocativ analysis shows.
What Trump does have is a large fan base in countries that researchers have deemed hubs for Facebook fraud. Specifically, they are home to âlike farmsââservices through which companies or individuals can buy Facebook likes using zombie accounts run by people who might be paid as little as $120 a year.
