The @TeamTrump social accounts, headed by X Strategies and its CEO, Alex Bruesewitz, amassed 1.6 million new social media followers in August and outperformed the official Democrat accounts on TikTok and Instagram by over 160,000,000 views.

Per data exclusively reviewed by Breitbart News, this was accomplished through a roughly 98,000,000-view advantage on TikTok and a 64,744,700-view advantage on Instagram reels for Team Trump accounts.

In August, the @TeamTrump account on TikTok amassed 171,000,000 views, more than doubling that of the official Democratic Party account, @Democrats, which garnered 73,000,000 views. Meanwhile, TeamTrump amassed 414,000 new followers throughout the month on the platform.

The shellacking X Strategies dealt to Democrats was accomplished with essentially half the number of posts Democrats issued on TikTok. Democrats posted 84 times throughout the month, compared to @TeamTrump’s 48.

The Instagram reel ratios are even more daunting for Democrats, as they received essentially one view for every three that @TeamTrump earned. Bruesewitz and his team pulled 97,945,000 reel views in August via the @TeamTrump account, nearly tripling the 33,200,300 reel views that @theDemocrats’ account secured.

Throughout the month, @TeamTrump pulled in 807,689 new followers on Instagram. Moreover, its Facebook account surged by 427,618 followers and attracted 53,516,214 views in August.

In a statement to Breitbart News, Bruesewitz pledged @TeamTrump would continue to run “circles around the Democrats.”

In both 2016 and 2024, Team Trump utterly crushed Cankles and Cackles in social media.

How does this compare with Youtube views?

When I go to Youtube all options are always MSNBC & LEFT OF IT. I search for a specific right wing or centrist and get that single panel. All options in the right panel are leftist. When I search for a specific leftist (say AOC) I get half the options in the right panel are SQUAD.

I cleanse the buffer by selecting a long string of WWE & Lions-vs-Zebras. Then I select 1 specific centrist and get that panel. But half the options on the right are far left. The other half are still WWE & Lions.

Never does the Youtube options on the right show more than 1 centrist or rightwing option.

Most viewers are not intense searchers for news. The accept the options offered, not thinking of slant.

The comments section in that site is totally useless. I don’t go there just for that alone.

I think youtube is included in this.

You’d be surprised. Algorithms attempt to make it look like leftist topics lead.
