What's up with all these strangely-named apps that were used to tweet (or retweet) #Trump2020 tweets with images in the wee hours the night of June 13th/14th? #MondayMotivation

Answer: a set of 36 custom apps with similar-looking names (lots of capital letters, stars, Greek letters, and brackets) were used by 136 accounts to retweet a Japanese #Trump2020 tweet posted by @neto_uyoko.
These 136 accounts are all bots, automated via the aforementioned 36 custom apps (used for retweeting) as well as twittbot and BotBird (used for original tweets.) Is this the entire botnet, or can we find more accounts?
