>He has 80m followers on twitter alone, that's ~20% of all twitter users,

Many of his followers are bots, and almost 75% haven't logged in more than 120 days. I'd be very surprised if more than 10% of his followers were real and active.

>I believe it's the next logical step.

If it was that easy he would've done it already if just for the ego boost. Twitter is getting him something that he doesn't think he can get on his own.

>his supporters will inevitably skip the reports and go directly to the source.

Again, my family is full of trump supporters and none of them read his tweets directly.
