Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Founders and operators

Green is a lawyer whose Trump Media bio says he “successfully prosecuted more than 20,000 criminal defendants” over eight years in Ruston, LA, a city with a population of just over 20,000. One DA in the area told us that such a high number likely includes traffic tickets.

Trump Media said July 3 it’s acquiring streaming TV tech for Truth Social, in a deal worth around $170 million at the current stock price. One of the sellers was an obscure LLC called JedTec. Streaming technology experts we spoke to had never heard of the company.
