•A single Trump tweet has been connected to a rise in arrests of white Americans
74% Informative
Trump ’s controversial tweets in April 2020 called for the “liberation” of Minnesota , Michigan , and Virginia from COVID-19 lockdowns led to a decrease in compliance with stay-at-home orders and a rise in arrests, especially among white Americans .
The researchers wanted to examine whether these messages encouraged supporters to act in ways that violated government guidelines.
The effects of Trump ’s tweets appeared to be short-lived, with behavior returning to normal within a week in most cases.
This suggests that while elite cues can have an immediate impact, their influence may fade over time.
Future research could also examine whether similar effects are observed in other countries or contexts.
