Donald Trump has aides who follow him around and recite praise he receives on social media, according to Maggie Haberman.
“As Trump has been out of office over the last 20 months, a rotating cast of aides has been tasked with following him around the golf course at the club he’s at and giving him positive reinforcement from Twitter and wherever else they find it on the web, per people told of the practice.”
