'This is Trump unleashed.'
The president’s @realDonaldTrump account sent a record 142 tweets and retweets during the second day of his impeachment trial on Wednesday, according to the data tracking service Factba.se, marking his all-time highest number of tweets in a single day since becoming president.
— Factba.se January 23, 2020 Trump’s historic impeachment — only the third in U.S. history — has spurred repeated record-breaking posting from the president’s account over the past few months. For example, the president sent 115 tweets and retweets on Dec.
After that, the president tweeted more in the week leading up to Oct. 1 than he had in any seven-day period since his inauguration, according to a separate CNBC analysis of his feed, which described the sudden flood of posts as an “impeachment-themed tweetstorm.” The report counted more than 250 tweets from Trump in the seven days after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the impeachment inquiry, averaging almost 40 posts a day.
And this chart shows that Trump has averaged 83 tweets a week in 2019 as of late September, which is a 43% increase from when he posted 58 tweets a week in 2018. It’s a whopping 91% spike from the 44 tweets a week that he tapped out in 2017. Trump is also expressing himself more IRL, as well. The data finds that his rally speeches have increased 26% from last year, now averaging at about one hour and 22 minutes, compared with one hour and five minutes last year, and just 59 minutes the year before.Indeed, seven of the 10 longest rally speeches of Trump’s presidency were given in 2019 — and at the time of this CNN analysis, Trump had only had 11 rallies in 2019.Seven of his last 11 rally speeches are in his top 10 longest.
