Trump broke his all-time tweeting record amid nationwide protests, sending more tweets in a single day than he did during his impeachment trialPresident Donald Trump on Friday sent exactly 200 tweets and retweets the most so far during his presidency amid ongoing nationwide protests about police brutality and not long after he issued an executive order to regulate the social network after it fact-checked his posts.
According to Factba.se, which tracks the president's usage of Twitter, the volume of the president's tweets Friday was the highest it had ever been both before and during his presidency. The president had sent 468 tweets as of Friday night for the week the most ever in one week during his presidency, according to Factba.se.
He also tweeted 74 times between 8 and 9 a.m. Friday, which marked the all-time highest volume of tweets from the president in a single hour. The president, who has frequently used Twitter as a messaging tool during his presidency, has ramped up his usage of the platform this year amid his re-election, according to Factba.se.
The tweets Friday broke his previous record of 142 tweets and retweets in a single day, which he sent on January 23 during his impeachment trial in the Senate. In 2017, then-White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said that the president's tweets constituted official statements, according to CNN.

Here's my question for Republicans:
Aren't you the ones who expect people to work hard? If that's so, how can you support this lazy-assed charlatan?
Simply, Republicans are hypocrites.
And Trump is an idiot.
