WASHINGTON (AP) — The always-prolific Tweeter-in-chief appears to have hit a new record.

The president’s @realDonaldTrump account had tweeted and retweeted 109 times by late afternoon Thursday, marking what could be his most active day on the platform yet.
The avalanche came as the House Judiciary Committee pressed toward a historic vote to approve articles of impeachment against him.
Trump has noticeably ramped up his tweeting during the impeachment inquiry. He tweeted 77 times Wednesday and 105 times Sunday, repeatedly declaring his innocence and retweeting comments and video of supporters defending his conduct.
But Trump also made time Thursday for a harsh tweet aimed at 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg, one day after she was named Time Magazine’s ”Person of the Year.” Trump told the Swedish teenager to “Chill!” adding that she “must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend!”
Thunberg has been open about her diagnosis of Asperger’s syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder associated with high intelligence and impaired social skills.
Trump also took time Thursday for a tweet promoting Mar-a-Lago, the private club he owns in Palm Beach, Florida. Trump’s relationship with the club has drawn alarms from ethics experts who note that members and guests can pay for access to the president, who spends frequent winter weekends at the resort.
Thursday’s deluge of tweets drew the attention of a leading 2020 Democrat, former Vice President Joe Biden, who tweeted that Trump should “Give it a rest, man.”
Trump’s reelection campaign slapped back, quipping, “Sleepy Joe knows a lot about rest.”
White House spokesman Judd Deere added that Trump’s “use of technology to communicate directly with the American people should be praised, not criticized.” He said the media should focus on Trump’s accomplishments “instead of obsessing over how many times the president has tweeted.”
Thunberg took it quite well.
It’s amazing
Not quite sure why he would tweet that
Is my math right? That is about one tweet every twenty minutes for twenty-four hours. If he was my grandfather I would be calling his doctor.
The man who controls the nuclear arsenal got into a twitter spat with a child, and then spend most of his day sending out over 130 tweets. Yup, perfectly normal, nothing to see here, right folks?
More self-serving delusional tweets from IMPEACHED IMP. What a legacy of divisiveness and delusion. Feh
what a doofus
If we assume each Tweet took a minute to compose and send…which is actually conservative as it does not take into account media time before, after and between Tweets, that means the President spent at least an hour and 49 minutes Tweeting yesterday. And this for a Chief Executive wildly reported as generally not showing up in his office until 11:00 in the morning. Guy really works hard!
I’ m not a huge fan of his multiple tweets, but if it drives the Never Trumpers crazy and to vodka, then keep tweeting. Chinese water torture, they can call it.
Shikselyid,
He also watches tv and maybe Netflix. He’s actually a genius who turned the world upside down in 3 wonderful years.
Peanuts Carter was a workaholic and “malaised ” the country.
This Time girl is being used by the CC lunatics.They don’t give a darn about her disability but they use it to bash any crticism because then you’re an insensitive clod. When it suits their evil purpose , they try to destroy kids. Just remember that teen who was confronted by the Indian activist drummer and the media bashed this kid and lied. He ‘s suing now and good for him.
Some of you just don’t get what’s really going on.
Since when do lefties care about disabled or than to control them? They do the same to blacks, Latinos and illegals and poor whites.
They only care about agendas, power and control. Shame on SLIME . They’ve ruined this poor girl.
The progs have been on a mission to destroy family, motherhood, fatherhood, for decades, thereby destroying healthy , normal children.Now they’re educating them to deny their genders and confuse their identities. Time magazine is run by Sodomites who have bound a girl to a stake, smeared her with honey, so that bees could sting her to death. Incomprehensible.
