WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump may be lagging in the polls, but his nickname for his opponent is finding traction on social media sites.
The researchers analysed the spread of"Sleepy Joe," and the hashtag #SleepyJoe across social media platforms during the first seven months of the year. "Sleepy Joe" gained traction online in April 2019 when the name was tweeted by Mr Trump, according to the researchers. The Clemson research didn't try to address whether the"Sleepy Joe" insult has been successful, but rather to track if - and how - it spread on several social media platforms.
And, on Instagram, #SleepyJoe gained momentum through the Fourth of July holiday, frequently appearing in posts with other hashtags associated with the Trump base such as #trump, #maga, #qanon #trumptrain, #obamagate, #draintheswamp and #fakenews.
