A typical post picks up 7 interactions against 1.0M followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 699 original posts, its engagement rate beats 9% of 20,688 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 5.3K times each, and 0.132% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.51% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 699 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 25, 2026. Recurring tags: #china, #donaldtrump, #unitedstates.
