Fake accounts on social media

no matter what side you're on, you need to understand this

There are hundreds of potentially fake accounts on Twitter and Facebook and Reddit which do nothing but re-tweet pro-Trump and anti-media messages all day, every day. They provide the graphics and slogans which hard core politically right folks in turn re-tweet to their followers. Who is actually behind these accounts? I also see political messaging on the left of course but usually those messages can be tied to a person who has written something non-political at least once in the past, but the hard right accounts are just creepy. Are they bots? Are they an army of poor in a 3rd world country being paid pennies on the tweet?
