How did you verify Trump's Twitter account is his?
1. You trusted Twitter in the process they do, and that they won't take advantage of it.
2. Maybe he mentioned it in a video (not valid for the futurm, can be faked with AI).
In Nostr, like in PGP, you don't have a central source of authority. You need to stablish a web of trust... Do people trusted by you (because you know them in real life or something else) acknowledge this source as trustworthy?
As all messages in Nostr are signed, messages and author can't be faked. Twitter could modify or create a Tweet without account owner's permission.
