![]() values loyalty, he values love, but he also values the primacy of his 'personal printing press' and wants the world to believe that it's his and his alone. As President Trump said when he was candidate Trump to Corey Lewandowski in 2016 when there was a glowing profile of Lewandowski that got a lot of attention, he said to Lewandowski, "There's only one star in this campaign." One of them is that he has watched one staffer after the next - most famously Anthony Scaramucci, who lasted for 10 days or so - to fall on their sword, to self-immolate, pick your metaphor, but basically to call too much attention to themselves, which is something the president can't stand. Scavino is reticent for a couple of reasons. This was in fact, for better or worse, the unvarnished Donald Trump at work. Therefore it defies any rational imagination that Scavino would've allowed this to pass. The Trump White House was very resistant to deconstructing this stuff for me and elaborating on Dan Scavino's role in President Trump's individual tweets, but they did concede to me that yes, Scavino will correct misspellings and all that. Washington was roiling with an effort to decipher this word "covfefe," scrambling in Urban trying to figure out its meaning. ![]() It simply says, "Despite the constant negative press covfefe," there's nothing that takes place after that. This was a tweet that took place, of course, six minutes after midnight on May 31, 2017, from the Twitter account. On the puzzling Trump tweet with the nonsense word "covfefe" He began, Scavino did, to "co-conspire" with Trump on the Twitter account in 2015. The all-caps is something Trump has been doing going back to, I'd say, 2012, before Scavino had any access to Trump's Twitter account. When we look at a Trump tweet, it is, in many ways, an amalgamation of Trump's basic grievance - the establishment of a grievance or an establishment of a boast, supplied then with a few technical details such as hashtags and things. would have a general sentiment, but would lack specifics. Trump didn't know how to do a hashtag before. Having said all of that, Trump more or less set his own template with the all-caps and saying "Sad!" but Scavino has added to that template. something that all takes place backstage. It happens to be an intimate act for President Trump. Here's what the first draft of this was." I was unable. I would've loved to deconstruct a series of tweets for this story and say, "Here's what Scavino supplied. that none of us are in the room when individual tweets are happening. On the Trump style of tweeting, with all-caps and exclamation points But of the 37,000 or so tweets that Trump has sent out, Dan Scavino is responsible for - at least as a "co-conspirator" to - about half of those. That's probably about half of the tweets overall. There certainly are tweets that Trump himself writes in the dark of night or first thing in the morning that Dan Scavino sees when the rest of the world sees. I want you to put this back in." Then he'll say, "Go ahead and hit send," and Scavino will do so. Trump will look at them and then say, "OK, that looks good," or "No, no. There are also some tweets that Trump will dictate to Scavino and Scavino will then polish them up, make sure there are no grammatical errors or anything like that. ![]() Well, that's Trump, but it's Trump in "collusion," as it were, with Scavino, who will supply the litany of examples. Then you'll see other things that will say, "I'm not the corrupt one Hillary Clinton is corrupt." And it will list three or four reasons why Hillary Clinton is the corrupt one, not Trump. If you look at Trump's Twitter page, you'll see, for one thing, a few sort of anodyne things: "I'll be at such-and-such a place at 1 o'clock." Trump's not writing that Dan Scavino is. On which of Trump's tweets may have been crafted by Scavino To the extent that Trump believes in (as he puts it) "counter-punching," Dan Scavino is very much a part of that counterpunching mechanism. As this Westchester County suburbanite, one would never have expected a person like Dan Scavino to become a Donald Trump attack dog, but that is, in fact, what has taken place - both on Trump's Twitter account and on Dan Scavino's personal Twitter account. Scavino is yet another individual who was a perfectly normal soul, so it seemed, until he fell down the Trump rabbit hole. On Scavino's aggressive defense of the president on Twitter
