Trump has tweeted more about Rosie O'Donnell than about his own wife


Donald Trump has an arch-nemesis. It's not Jeb Bush or Ted Cruz or even Hillary Clinton, nor is it Megyn Kelly or the media or the Academy Awards — although Trump isn't particularly fond of any of them, either.

Megyn Kelly also seems to be the object of Trump's focus, with over twice as many tweets about her than Melania Trump — 116 tweets and retweets about her, in fact, since 2011. Trump's daughter, Ivanka, also inspires many of his tweets, appearing in 111 (his younger daughter, Tiffany Trump, not so much — only 10). And of course, Hillary Clinton commands 522 tweets, dating back to his first in 2012:
