That is one weird article, LA_Trump. The way the account switched hands after building a big following and the old PG tweets were scrubbed and it suddenly became..."progressive" ???? WTF? Why would a progressive want the audience of a right wing account? That makes no sense.
What does make sense, though, is that this is an attempt to undermine Trump, using Pizzagate...just as the Daily Beast seems to be doing with this article:
Build up a Pizzagate-believer account with tons of tweets, followers and likes
Scrub the tweet history
Shift direction and then run a poll that those pro-Trump, Pizzagate Truthers will make trend in Trump's favor
Claim Trump is retweeting Pizzagate conspiracists to make him look ignorant, gullible, uninformed and crazy
The way the account switched hands after building a big following and the old PG tweets were scrubbed and it suddenly became..."progressive" ???? WTF? Why would a progressive want the audience of a right wing account? That makes no sense.
It didn't become "Progressive." That's the whole point. To me the name is trying to sound like the respected pollster PPP. Since it started as a right wing account before the name change, the people who would be aware of its polls and thus vote in them would be highly skewed to the right wing.
It's still on the right, look at its activity.
Since July 26th, the account has liked tweets by Roger Stone and right-wing social media star Cassandra Fairbanks. And many of the accounts it follows lean to the right, something that flies in the face of its name, "Progress Polls."
And the bigger story is whoever they are, Trump is so damn insecure he has to tweet a meaningless damn internet poll becuase he needs praise.
As for how could the Daily Beast find out about this? Perhaps they subscribed to the earlier account.
