President Trump did not let the World Economic Forum, international travel, or a Senate impeachment trial get in the way of his Twitter time.
On Wednesday, Trump tweeted a record 131 times between 12 a.m. and 4:25 p.m. ET, The Associated Press reports. This was his most active day on Twitter since he became president. The previous record was set just last month on Dec. 12, when Trump tweeted his heart out as the House Judiciary Committee began its session approving two articles of impeachment against him. His fingers were never faster than they were on Dec. 15, when he set his record for most tweets per hour, firing off 58 of them between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. ET.
