Trump started a blog, but hardly anyone is reading it insider@insider.com (John Haltiwanger) The blog has only seen a little over 212,000 engagements in its first week. When he still had Twitter, Trump used to see more engagement via single tweets. When he still had a Twitter account, Donald Trump shared tweets featuring the word "ratings" almost 400 times. It's no secret he's obsessed with numbers and how many eyes he has on him at all times. Along those lines, the former president might not be too happy to learn that his new blog has fairly low readership. The blog, titled From the Desk of Donald J. Trump, has only seen a little over 212,000 engagements in its first week, according to data compiled by the social media analytics company BuzzSumo, which was first reported by NBC News. Comparatively, Trump's tweet announcing he contracted COVID-19 last October - his most liked and retweeted post to date - was retweeted hundreds of thousands of times and liked over 1.5 million times. In other words, Trump saw more engagement from single tweets than he has on his new blog so far.
