ANALYSIS: Bitching About “Media” And “Fake News” Leads List Of Trump’s 470 Tweets In First 100 Days

ABC News reports:



Four hundred and seventy: the number of times a user of the @realDonaldTrump Twitter account has clicked “Tweet” since Jan. 20 — Inauguration Day.

In his first 99 days in office, President Donald Trump has occupied one of the most controversial presidencies of the modern era, tangling with reporters, protesters, foreign countries and members of both major political parties, all while pursuing an aggressive agenda that for the 19 months prior he promised will “make America great again.”

Some of the most frequent tweets are those about the media, of which there are at least 65 — nearly 14 percent of all posts. The word “media” is directly cited 32 times; “fake news” shows up on 30 occasions and three of the top four handles Trump has included in tweets are media-related: @nytimes, @foxandfriends and @FoxNews with 17, 11 and nine mentions, respectively. He has tweeted twice about the show he used to host, “The Apprentice,” using both instances to attack his replacement, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
