If you want to count something like this in real time, you would need to modify the way you're consuming the API (rest) and create a listener (you can still do that with Tweepy). That's what I would do, I'd create a specific listener for Trump's tweets and use threads to count for certain time likes and retweets for a new tweet.
Does this answer help? I can try to be more explicit. :)
This is an interesting question.

Yes I understand the idea. This would be a very useful tool to track false popular account.
