The Boston Globe published a fake story on their front page today describing what we might see if Donald Trump becomes President of the United States:

Of course he'll cry like a baby over it; complaining about biased, liberal media.

Maybe he should clean his own house first.Donald Trump Busted Trying To Con Voters With Hundreds Of Fake Twitter Accounts 

Evidence has been uncovered that suggests Donald Trump paid for a marketing campaign that used hundreds of fake Twitter accounts in an attempt to con voters into supporting his presidential campaign.

After Erick Erickson mentioned that he had been getting waves of suspicious tweets from “Trump supporters,” Republican strategist Patrick Ruffini dug deeper and found the evidence:

Lots of fake twitter accounts, with Anti-Cruz, Pro-Trump tweets.

Ruffini: "People with 0 Twitter followers seem very interested in filing complaints against Ted Cruz."

"These "users" have collectively generated 1.786M tweets over the last 30 days."

It appears that Donald Trump is gaming social media with a paid marketing campaign. Instead of running ads like every other candidate, Trump has paid for thousands of bot accounts that retweet his messages. When Donald Trump feels slighted by someone in the media or Ted Cruz, he unleashes the fake accounts to retweet his message and change the media coverage of his campaign.
