On June 28th, Gawker[8] published an article titled "Where Are They Hiding Donald Trump's Phone?", which speculated that a Trump campaign staff member was running his Twitter account based on a tweet ending with the word "sad" without an exclamation point. On August 9th, data scientist David Robinson published an article on his blog Variance Explained[3] investigating which of Trump's tweet were written by staff, which speculated that an anonymous staffer was imitating Trump's cadence:

"A lot has been written about Trump’s mental state. But I’d really rather get inside the head of this anonymous staffer, whose job is to imitate Trump’s unique cadence ('Very sad!'), or to put a positive spin on it, to millions of followers."

On August 18th, 2016, NPR interviewed several data scientists examining Trump's Twitter account, who mentioned the frequent usage of "sad!" at the end of his tweets.
