John Fugelsang engagement report
@JohnFugelsang - 443K followers on X
Measured over 11 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 30, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 963 interactions against 443K followers, an engagement rate of 0.217%. Measured over 11 original posts, its engagement rate beats 82% of 21,624 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 11K times each, and 8.58% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.53% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 11 posts sampled, 55% carry an image or video, 9% are part of a thread and 27% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 28K interactions, about 29x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
John Fugelsang's engagement rate beats 82% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,624 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 97% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 17:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 55% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 27% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 55% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 27% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 214 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

NEW -- Trump is promising to slash gas prices by 50 percent or more in his first 12 months back in power. Too bad accomplishing this would destroy the domestic oil industry and bring on a recession... (Look, you want cheap gas or not?) https://t.co/I8ez8HDoO6

Lake America. Do you still feel compelled to blindly defend this stupid grotesque racist child, MAGA friends? Is Lake America what you were promised, over and over? Did the tariffs work like he promised? Did all the punching down on scapegoated trans kids make your life better in any way? Are you weary of playing stupid, bc you’ve stayed loyal to how his bullshit made you feel back in 2016? Are you realizing yet that rightwing billionaire media needs you angry; but doesn’t actually care about you? Do you get yet that certain billionaires and politicians need us to hate each other? Are they still gaslighting you into not minding that he really did have cops beaten, for a lie, on the Capitol steps? It’s not too late to admit you were conned and join the struggle against these corrupt incompetent fascist grifter clowns. And if you still feel safer in the cult, and are still giving your obedience to liars; bc they hate the same ppl you’ve been groomed to hate? Then thanks for the gas prices. Oh, and that sloppy makeup job makes him look like a tragic old queen. Defend it.

Dear MAGA pals: I know they've groomed you to hate Muslims, unless they work for Trump or give him free airplanes. But... You can attack Dr. El Sayed for being "too liberal;" or you can accuse him of supporting the very conservative Muslim Brotherhood. You can't do both.
