Trump Just Said He’s Having a ‘Very Busy Day’ — He’s Tweeted Over 100 Times Today (and Counting)

At a Thursday White House event, Donald Trump said that he had a “very busy day” after posting over 100 tweets and retweets on his Twitter account throughout Thursday morning.

As the House prepares to impeach Trump on charges of abusing his office and obstructing Congress, Trump has gone on a multi-day retweet spree, flooding the Internet with clips of Republican members of Congress and op-eds from conservative pundits defending him.

As of noon EST, Trump had posted 95 tweets or retweets on his personal account. On Wednesday, Trump similarly tweeted over 60 times in three hours to rag on the impeachment inquiry and the FBI.

“I had very busy time and a very busy day, but my daughter said, ‘You will be here’, so that was the end of that busy day, when a daughter says you have to be here,” Trump said at the beginning of Thursday’s White House Summit on Child Care and Paid Leave.

The summit, which began at 11:15 A.M., was Trump’s first event of the day listed on his public schedule. Later, Trump is scheduled to receive an intelligence briefing and attend this year’s Congressional Ball with First Lady Melania Trump.

Trump then told a whopper of a lie, and claimed daughter Ivanka has personally gotten jobs for 14 million people.

On Wednesday, the House passed a bipartisan defense authorization package that both secured one of Trump’s top policy priorities by creating a Space Force and, for the first time, extended 12 weeks of paid parental leave to federal government employees.

As of this writing, Trump has tweeted 107 times today and it’s still early in the afternoon.

The deluge began, as most Trump tweetstorms do, with a reference to a segment on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” at 6:51 a.m. He then proceeded to fire off dozens of tweets, reposting supportive messages from his most strident defenders and attorney Rudy Giuliani. This comes after another barrage on Sunday, when he sent 105 tweets before the clock struck midnight.
