SEE ALSO: Donald Trump thanked a black entrepreneur on Twitter, but she might not be real

After thanking an entrepreneur who turned out to be a bot, it seems that Donald Trump has just retweeted another fake fan account -- either an advanced bot or linked to a bot network.

On Monday morning, the US president thanked @Aroliso for slamming the #FakeNews media. "You never falter, you always stand strong," Aroliso tweeted as part of a thread. This is what Trump posted:

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

A quick look at @Aroliso shows that somebody created the account in October 2015 but it first tweeted just 3 days ago, gathering over 6,000 followers with memes and posts exclusively celebrating Donald Trump:

The account only follows 5 people -- interestingly it includes singers Bjork and Tori Amos -- and the bio just says "MAGA".

All these elements point to a possible fake pro-Trump account. But there's more.

The current @Aroliso is actually a very recent takeover. Until last Friday, it had just one follower and used to exclusively retweet another account, @AvoTovA:

@AvoTovA had around 7,700 followers before it was deleted and restarted:

And at the time -- surprise surprise -- it also used to tweet pro-Trump messages, mostly nonsensical support statements:

Some people on Twitter noticed that @Aroliso tweeted to the President via something called "Avotova 06" (!!!), which is probably an API registered with Twitter:

To close the circle, the now-dead website has "Donald Trump parody videos in its metadata, as noticed by Daily Beast's Ben Collins:

If this not proof that Trump retweeted a fake account, we don't know what is.
