  This sounds too much like "my political enemies are mentally ill".

  I mean yeah people are influenced negatively by social media, but those three guys in the title already had similar personalities a long time ago, and are probably not so online like the average person, because they have to run their empires.

  People fall for fakes on twitter all the time. I believe it has something to do with biases and tendency of these platforms to create echo chambers.
