Another Trump channel.
Is it real?
At 20:53 Moscow time a channel with the address
@trump_donaldv changed its username several times and now it is located at
@Donald_trumpv.
The
@tginfo team managed to take the
@trump_donaldv username to their account, but within 5 minutes, without any warning, the Telegram team took this public name, switching the channel to private mode.
We can make an assumption the
@trump_donaldv channel may be official, since Telegram protects its former username.
Now the
@trump_donaldv channel has just almost 5 thousand subscribers. At the same time, the posts have a very few views, and the growth is not as rapid as one of the unofficial
@trump channel, followed by over 310,000 users.
What is confusing: if the author of the channel changed the username, then why
@tginfo editing staff was able to occupy it without waiting the reserved 15-30 minutes. We may assume someone asked for this username and it was released by Telegram team.
This is the second sign that the
@trump_donaldv username might be owned by someone close to Trump.
