President Trump hit Twitter’s “send” button more than twice as often in 2019 as in 2018.

Trump sent more than 7,700 missives on the social media service in 2019 — compared to 3,600 in the previous 12 months.

Of his 2019 blasts, some 3,000 were retweets. That’s compared to 775 retweets issued during his first two years in office.

Some of the accounts Trump retweeted did show signs of being automated.
“Of the 684 unique accounts he’s retweeted [this year], 30 are now dead, suspended or moved names … a not insignificant percent,” said Bill Frischling, the founder of Factba.se, which closely tracts Trump Twitter trends.

when he is sending out messages all day long? I mean, really? Not that any one of us here think he's doing the job.

Think about any job--any job at all, from teacher to plumber to office manager to retail store clerk. How could you get any work done if you sent out 21+ tweets a day? That's almost 3 tweets an hour.

This moron thinks his job is running his mouth via tweeting to the American public. It's really just that simple.

and his ignoring his actual job might be the only reasons we're not a smoldering crater at this point. So, silver lining, I guess?
