In a subsequent tweet, Scavino said the list was compiled from Twitter’s “Who to Follow” function, an algorithm-based list of recommended accounts to follow that is presented to users.

Trump follows just 45 people on his @realDonaldTrump account, including several Fox News hosts and top aides like White House counselor Kellyanne Conway.
Scavino has served as Trump’s social media director since his 2016 presidential campaign. He recently came under fire for sharing an inaccurate video he claimed was of Hurricane Irma as the storm began to make landfall in Florida.
Scavino also frequently uses his own Twitter account to post tweets that align with Trump, including those blasting the hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and calling for a primary challenger to run against a House Freedom Caucus member who has been critical of Trump.
