How do I get number of replies for a tweet? #677

So I am browsing through user timeline and getting only tweets made by the user. However, whenever I try accessing status.in_reply_to_status_id, I keep on getting none. I'm only trying to get the current number of replies for a given tweet. For example:

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1300840191771340801

currently has ~5.2k quote retweets, and I would like to access that number from python.

Is there any command I am missing? I thought in_reply_to_status_Id would have returned the 5.2k
