Did Trump Confuse Maradona With Madonna? No, Tweet Is Morphed - The Quint

We went through Donald Trump’s Twitter feed and didn’t see the viral tweet on it.

We then did a keyword search for “Donald Trump + Madonna” and found that the singer had been trending online because some people confused her with the footballer.

We then analysed the viral tweet with a real tweet on Trump’s feed. While comparing the viral tweet with Trump’s tweet on the mobile application, we saw four big errors:

• The share button on the phone is different on the mobile application as compared to the viral tweet.
• The number of retweets, quote tweets and likes appear separately and not next to the buttons.
• The Twitter handle and time was in different positions as compared to a real tweet.
• The position of the number of interactions was also not aligned with the text of the tweet.

We also found errors while comparing the viral tweet with the desktop version of a real tweet.

This time, the share button was the same as in the viral tweet. However, the position of time and the Twitter handle were again off, as compared to a real tweet. While in a real tweet, the time is mentioned under the text, in the viral photo, the time and the handle were next to the name.

The number of interactions was also found to be above the buttons in the real tweet.
