Nearly one-third of the tweets that Trump has liked have come from his own Twitter account

I recently discovered on Twitter that it is, as of this writing, physically possible to hit the heart-shaped like button on one’s own tweets. I have publicly recommended that Twitter disable the ability of people to like their own tweets, while preserving the ability for people to like others’ tweets:

I think Twitter shouldn't allow people to like their own tweets. That sounds like something that egomaniacs do.

Obviously, I do believe that Twitter should continue allowing people to like others' tweets.

That got me wondering whether or not the world’s most infamous tweeter, President Donald Trump, has a habit of liking his own tweets. Trump has extremely rarely hit the like button on tweets, having only hit the heart-shaped button a total of, as of this writing, 25 times from his own Twitter account. However, eight of those 25 tweets, or 32% of the tweets that Trump has liked, have come from his own account. I'm not sure if anyone has been able to determine the average percentage of the average Twitter user's liked tweets that have been own likes (an "own like" is a liked tweet that came from the account of the Twitter user who liked the tweet), but I would guess that the average percentage of own likes is probably significantly lower than 32%.

Trump's own Twitter habits are another example of Trump putting himself first and America last.
