Dashboards, Maps, & Graphs
Slights, perceived or real, cause a response. To bring attention to the threat encapsulated in 140 characters, we present the Trump Watch, our effort to track the behavior of the 45th president on his preferred channel. The Watch is updated every few days so that the dashboards reflect the current state of twitterdom. The principal measure to pay attention to is the Doomsday Counter (baby brother to the Doomsday Clock), in which we capture the net animus displayed toward nuclear states via tweet. To do this, we have collected the tweets of @realDonaldTrump since just after the election (November 10, 2016) and analyzed them. Of course, the Donald doesn’t just use Twitter for international diplomacy. He protects his ego against all enemies, foreign and domestic. So we’re also breaking down both the subjects he covers (since November 10th) and comparing the significance of those tweets to his political peers (since December 23, 2016).
The anti-Trump defensive charity finder
We’ve attempted to supply information and clarity by sifting through the vast morass of potential options to reduce choice paralysis for those who want to resist. With the coming administration, some charities will be more effective than others. Those that can do the most in defense of the public good will:
- Represent causes under explicit threat from his administration.
- Examples: Civil rites, a nuclear-weapon-free world, climate change.
- Employ tactics likely to be effective.
- Examples: Unleash the lawyers, purchase power and influence people, provide services cut by the administration, whistleblower protection.
The Doomsday Counter
The Doomsday Counter goes up every time @realDonaldTrump ups the probability of Nuclear armageddon by either:
- Insulting a nuclear power. We also included suspected powers like Israel and states suspected of developing them like Iran.
- Advocating the use or expansion of the USA’s nuclear arsenal.

| 212 | 2018-12-24 | For all of the sympathizers out there of Brett McGurk remember, he was the Obama appointee who was responsible for loading up airplanes with 1.8 Billion Dollars in CASH & sending it to Iran as part of the horrific Iran Nuclear Deal (now terminated) approved by Little Bob Corker. | IRN |
| 211 | 2018-12-08 | Very sad day & night in Paris. Maybe it’s time to end the ridiculous and extremely expensive Paris Agreement and return money back to the people in the form of lower taxes? The U.S. was way ahead of the curve on that and the only major country where emissions went down last year! | FRA |
| 210 | 2018-12-04 | The idea of a European Military didn’t work out too well in W.W. I or 2. But the U.S. was there for you, and always will be. All we ask is that you pay your fair share of NATO. Germany is paying 1% while the U.S. pays 4.3% of a much larger GDP – to protect Europe. Fairness! | FRA |
| 209 | 2018-12-04 | RT @charliekirk11: There are riots in socialist France because of radical leftist fuel taxes Media barely mentioning this America is boom… | FRA |
| 208 | 2018-12-04 | The negotiations with China have already started. Unless extended, they will end 90 days from the date of our wonderful and very warm dinner with President Xi in Argentina. Bob Lighthizer will be working closely with Steve Mnuchin, Larry Kudlow, Wilbur Ross and Peter Navarro…..on seeing whether or not a REAL deal with China is actually possible. If it is, we will get it done. China is supposed to start buying Agricultural product and more immediately. President Xi and I want this deal to happen, and it probably will. But if not remember,….I am a Tariff Man. When people or countries come in to raid the great wealth of our Nation, I want them to pay for the privilege of doing so. It will always be the best way to max out our economic power. We are right now taking in $billions in Tariffs. MAKE AMERICA RICH AGAIN…..But if a fair deal is able to be made with China, one that does all of the many things we know must be finally done, I will happily sign. Let the negotiations begin. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! | CHN |
| 207 | 2018-11-29 | Based on the fact that the ships and sailors have not been returned to Ukraine from Russia, I have decided it would be best for all parties concerned to cancel my previously scheduled meeting….in Argentina with President Vladimir Putin. I look forward to a meaningful Summit again as soon as this situation is resolved! | RUS |
| 206 | 2018-11-25 | Europe has to pay their fair share for Military Protection. The European Union, for many years, has taken advantage of us on Trade, and then they don’t live up to their Military commitment through NATO. Things must change fast! | FRA |
| 205 | 2018-11-25 | The large and violent French protests don’t take into account how badly the United States has been treated on Trade by the European Union or on fair and reasonable payments for our GREAT military protection. Both of these topics must be remedied soon. | FRA |
| 204 | 2018-11-19 | Of course we should have captured Osama Bin Laden long before we did. I pointed him out in my book just BEFORE the attack on the World Trade Center. President Clinton famously missed his shot. We paid Pakistan Billions of Dollars & they never told us he was living there. Fools!….We no longer pay Pakistan the $Billions because they would take our money and do nothing for us, Bin Laden being a prime example, Afghanistan being another. They were just one of many countries that take from the United States without giving anything in return. That’s ENDING! | PAK |
| 203 | 2018-11-13 | The problem is that Emmanuel suffers from a very low Approval Rating in France, 26%, and an unemployment rate of almost 10%. He was just trying to get onto another subject. By the way, there is no country more Nationalist than France, very proud people-and rightfully so!….MAKE FRANCE GREAT AGAIN! | FRA |
| 202 | 2018-11-13 | On Trade, France makes excellent wine, but so does the U.S. The problem is that France makes it very hard for the U.S. to sell its wines into France, and charges big Tariffs, whereas the U.S. makes it easy for French wines, and charges very small Tariffs. Not fair, must change! | FRA |
| 201 | 2018-11-13 | Emmanuel Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the U.S., China and Russia. But it was Germany in World Wars One & Two – How did that work out for France? They were starting to learn German in Paris before the U.S. came along. Pay for NATO or not! | FRA |
| 199 & 200 | 2018-11-12 | Just returned from France where much was accomplished in my meetings with World Leaders. Never easy bringing up the fact that the U.S. must be treated fairly, which it hasn’t, on both Military and Trade. We pay for LARGE portions of other countries military protection,….hundreds of billions of dollars, for the great privilege of losing hundreds of billions of dollars with these same countries on trade. I told them that this situation cannot continue – It is, and always has been, ridiculously unfair to the United States. Massive amounts…..of money spent on protecting other countries, and we get nothing but Trade Deficits and Losses. It is time that these very rich countries either pay the United States for its great military protection, or protect themselves…and Trade must be made FREE and FAIR! | FRA, GRB |
| 198 | 2018-11-09 | President Macron of France has just suggested that Europe build its own military in order to protect itself from the U.S., China and Russia. Very insulting, but perhaps Europe should first pay its fair share of NATO, which the U.S. subsidizes greatly! | FRA |
| 197 | 2018-09-18 | China has openly stated that they are actively trying to impact and change our election by attacking our farmers, ranchers and industrial workers because of their loyalty to me. What China does not understand is that these people are great patriots and fully understand that….China has been taking advantage of the United States on Trade for many years. They also know that I am the one that knows how to stop it. There will be great and fast economic retaliation against China if our farmers, ranchers and/or industrial workers are targeted! | CHN |
| 196 | 2018-09-09 | If the U.S. sells a car into China, there is a tax of 25%. If China sells a car into the U.S., there is a tax of 2%. Does anybody think that is FAIR? The days of the U.S. being ripped-off by other nations is OVER! | CHN |
| 195 | 2018-08-29 | “STATEMENT FROM THE WHITE HOUSE – President Donald J. Trump feels strongly that North Korea is under tremendous pressure from China because of our major trade disputes with the Chinese Government. At the same time, we also know that China is providing North Korea with….considerable aid, including money, fuel, fertilizer and various other commodities. This is not helpful! Nonetheless, the President believes that his relationship with Kim Jong Un is a very good and warm one, and there is no reason at this time to be spending large amounts….of money on joint U.S.-South Korea war games. Besides, the President can instantly start the joint exercises again with South Korea, and Japan, if he so chooses. If he does, they will be far bigger than ever before. As for the U.S.–China trade disputes, and other….differences, they will be resolved in time by President Trump and China’s great President Xi Jinping. Their relationship and bond remain very strong. | CHN |
| 194 | 2018-08-29 | Hillary Clinton’s Emails, many of which are Classified Information, got hacked by China. Next move better be by the FBI & DOJ or, after all of their other missteps (Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr, FISA, Dirty Dossier etc.), their credibility will be forever gone! | CHN |
| 193 | 2018-08-29 | Report just out: “China hacked Hillary Clinton’s private Email Server.” Are they sure it wasn’t Russia (just kidding!)? What are the odds that the FBI and DOJ are right on top of this? Actually, a very big story. Much classified information! | CHN |
| 192 | 2018-08-24 | I have asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo not to go to North Korea, at this time, because I feel we are not making sufficient progress with respect to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula….Additionally, because of our much tougher Trading stance with China, I do not believe they are helping with the process of denuclearization as they once were (despite the UN Sanctions which are in place)….Secretary Pompeo looks forward to going to North Korea in the near future, most likely after our Trading relationship with China is resolved. In the meantime I would like to send my warmest regards and respect to Chairman Kim. I look forward to seeing him soon! | PRK |
| 191 | 2018-08-09 | “There has been no evidence whatsoever that Donald Trump or the campaign was involved in any kind of collusion to fix the 2016 election. In fact the evidence is the opposite, that Hillary Clinton & the Democrats colluded with the Russians to fix the 2016 election.” @GrahamLedger | RUS |
| 190 | 2018-08-07 | The Iran sanctions have officially been cast. These are the most biting sanctions ever imposed, and in November they ratchet up to yet another level. Anyone doing business with Iran will NOT be doing business with the United States. I am asking for WORLD PEACE, nothing less! | IRN |
| 189 | 2018-07-25 | China is targeting our farmers, who they know I love & respect, as a way of getting me to continue allowing them to take advantage of the U.S. They are being vicious in what will be their failed attempt. We were being nice – until now! China made $517 Billion on us last year. https://t.co/19hwB4J1P6 | CHN |
| 188 | 2018-07-24 | I’m very concerned that Russia will be fighting very hard to have an impact on the upcoming Election. Based on the fact that no President has been tougher on Russia than me, they will be pushing very hard for the Democrats. They definitely don’t want Trump! https://t.co/mQz28UCOkh | RUS |
| 187 | 2018-07-20 | RT @realDonaldTrump: I told you so! The European Union just slapped a Five Billion Dollar fine on one of our great companies, Google. They truly have taken advantage of the U.S., but not for long! | EU |
| 185 & 186 | 2018-07-20 | China, the European Union and others have been manipulating their currencies and interest rates lower, while the U.S. is raising rates while the dollars gets stronger and stronger with each passing day – taking away our big competitive edge. As usual, not a level playing field… https://t.co/uq25L7MIS9 | EU, CHN |

| 183 | 2018-07-12 | This is now changing – for the first time! https://t.co/bRgrMbdDPp | EU |
| 181 & 182 | 2018-07-12 | Presidents have been trying unsuccessfully for years to get Germany and other rich NATO Nations to pay more toward their protection from Russia. They pay only a fraction of their cost. The U.S. pays tens of Billions of Dollars too much to subsidize Europe, and loses Big on Trade! https://t.co/8jHyFJgO3y | GBR, FRA |
| 180 | 2018-07-11 | Billions of additional dollars are being spent by NATO countries since my visit last year, at my request, but it isn’t nearly enough. U.S. spends too much. Europe’s borders are BAD! Pipeline dollars to Russia are not acceptable! https://t.co/rrj6jUggJd | EU |
| 178 & 179 | 2018-07-11 | What good is NATO if Germany is paying Russia billions of dollars for gas and energy? Why are there only 5 out of 29 countries that have met their commitment? The U.S. is paying for Europe’s protection, then loses billions on Trade. Must pay 2% of GDP IMMEDIATELY, not by 2025. https://t.co/5AL8w3gTfz | GBR, FRA |
| 177 | 2018-07-10 | The European Union makes it impossible for our farmers and workers and companies to do business in Europe (U.S. has a $151 Billion trade deficit), and then they want us to happily defend them through NATO, and nicely pay for it. Just doesn’t work! https://t.co/nbo6o6WTSb | EU |
| 175 & 176 | 2018-07-10 | Many countries in NATO, which we are expected to defend, are not only short of their current commitment of 2% (which is low), but are also delinquent for many years in payments that have not been made. Will they reimburse the U.S.? https://t.co/vmoDRhABzd | GBR, FRA |
| 173 & 174 | 2018-07-10 | NATO countries must pay MORE, the United States must pay LESS. Very Unfair! | GBR, FRA |
| 172 | 2018-06-24 | Getting ready to leave for Europe. First meeting – NATO. The U.S. is spending many times more than any other country in order to protect them. Not fair to the U.S. taxpayer. On top of that we lose $151 Billion on Trade with the European Union. Charge us big Tariffs (& Barriers)! https://t.co/HrQyHhe5kg | EU |
| 171 | 2018-07-09 | I have confidence that Kim Jong Un will honor the contract we signed &, even more importantly, our handshake. We agreed to the denuclearization of North Korea. China, on the other hand, may be exerting negative pressure on a deal because of our posture on Chinese Trade-Hope Not! https://t.co/elx3PlmqT9 | CHN |
| 170 | 2018-07-09 | The United States is spending far more on NATO than any other Country. This is not fair, nor is it acceptable. While these countries have been increasing their contributions since I took office, they must do much more. Germany is at 1%, the U.S. is at 4%, and NATO benefits….Europe far more than it does the U.S. By some accounts, the U.S. is paying for 90% of NATO, with many countries nowhere close to their 2% commitment. On top of this the European Union has a Trade Surplus of $151 Million with the U.S., with big Trade Barriers on U.S. goods. NO! https://t.co/588k2513vw | EU |
| 168 & 169 | 2018-06-24 | The United States is insisting that all countries that have placed artificial Trade Barriers and Tariffs on goods going into their country, remove those Barriers & Tariffs or be met with more than Reciprocity by the U.S.A. Trade must be fair and no longer a one way street! https://t.co/5i0yZh1XSK | EU, CHN |
| 167 | 2018-06-23 | Based on the Tariffs and Trade Barriers long placed on the U.S. & its great companies and workers by the European Union, if these Tariffs and Barriers are not soon broken down and removed, we will be placing a 20% Tariff on all of their cars coming into the U.S. Build them here! https://t.co/dqB7ivIKdo | EU |
| 166 | 2018-06-04 | We don’t want what is happening with immigration in Europe to happen with us! | EU |
| 164 & 165 | 2018-06-11 | Why should I, as President of the United States, allow countries to continue to make Massive Trade Surpluses, as they have for decades, while our Farmers, Workers & Taxpayers have such a big and unfair price to pay? Not fair to the PEOPLE of America! $800 Billion Trade Deficit… https://t.co/Tj3a7diEmk | FRA, GBR |
| 162 & 163 | 2018-06-09 | Based on Justin’s false statements at his news conference, and the fact that Canada is charging massive Tariffs to our U.S. farmers, workers and companies, I have instructed our U.S. Reps not to endorse the Communique as we look at Tariffs on automobiles flooding the U.S. Market! https://t.co/8GTCnRTTEG | FRA, GBR |
| 160 & 161 | 2018-06-08 | Looking forward to straightening out unfair Trade Deals with the G-7 countries. If it doesn’t happen, we come out even better! | FRA, GBR |
| 159 | 2018-06-08 | Why isn’t the European Union and Canada informing the public that for years they have used massive Trade Tariffs and non-monetary Trade Barriers against the U.S. Totally unfair to our farmers, workers & companies. Take down your tariffs & barriers or we will more than match you! https://t.co/1m6nGEYJ9i | EU |
| 158 | 2018-06-07 | The Obama Administration is now accused of trying to give Iran secret access to the financial system of the United States. This is totally illegal. Perhaps we could get the 13 Angry Democrats to divert some of their energy to this “matter” (as Comey would call it). Investigate! https://t.co/bcC8xiuXxQ | IRN |
| 157 | 2018-06-04 | Farmers have not been doing well for 15 years. Mexico, Canada, China and others have treated them unfairly. By the time I finish trade talks, that will change. Big trade barriers against U.S. farmers, and other businesses, will finally be broken. Massive trade deficits no longer! https://t.co/7lFx4Anbpy | CHN |
| 156 | 2018-05-24 | I have decided to terminate the planned Summit in Singapore on June 12th. While many things can happen and a great opportunity lies ahead potentially, I believe that this is a tremendous setback for North Korea and indeed a setback for the world… https://t.co/EbxOgSODzO | PRK |

| 154 | 2018-05-21 | I ask Senator Chuck Schumer, why didn’t President Obama & the Democrats do something about Trade with China, including Theft of Intellectual Property etc.? They did NOTHING! With that being said, Chuck & I have long agreed on this issue! Fair Trade, plus, with China will happen! https://t.co/e8k3tCSFuq | CHN |
| 153 | 2018-05-14 | So sad to see the Terror Attack in Paris. At some point countries will have to open their eyes & see what is really going on. This kind of sickness & hatred is not compatible with a loving, peaceful, & successful country! Changes to our thought process on terror must be made. https://t.co/qVjD3gLZdp | FRA |
| 152 | 2018-05-13 | Remember how badly Iran was behaving with the Iran Deal in place. They were trying to take over the Middle East by whatever means necessary. Now, that will not happen! https://t.co/AmYWK4SbD7 | IRN |
| 151 | 2018-05-13 | China and the United States are working well together on trade, but past negotiations have been so one sided in favor of China, for so many years, that it is hard for them to make a deal that benefits both countries. But be cool, it will all work out! https://t.co/L81eSKAcjh | CHN |
| 150 | 2018-05-12 | Iran’s Military Budget is up more than 40% since the Obama negotiated Nuclear Deal was reached…just another indicator that it was all a big lie. But not anymore! https://t.co/jwMoSGoxMg | IRN |
| 149 | 2018-05-08 | The Iran Deal is defective at its core. If we do nothing, we know what will happen. In just a short time, the world’s leading state sponsor of terror will be on the cusp of acquiring the world’s most dangerous weapons…. https://t.co/7Q5Mje2XBU | IRN |

| 141 | 2018-04-09 | When a car is sent to the United States from China, there is a Tariff to be paid of 2 1/2%. When a car is sent to China from the United States, there is a Tariff to be paid of 25%. Does that sound like free or fair trade. No, it sounds like STUPID TRADE – going on for years! https://t.co/lKzX2101uS | CHN |
| 140 | 2018-04-07 | The United States hasn’t had a Trade Surplus with China in 40 years. They must end unfair trade, take down barriers and charge only Reciprocal Tariffs. The U.S. is losing $500 Billion a year, and has been losing Billions of Dollars for decades. Cannot continue! https://t.co/zK5bgWoVqw | CHN |
| 139 | 2018-04-06 | China, which is a great economic power, is considered a Developing Nation within the World Trade Organization.

We cannot let this continue! | CHN |
| 137 | 2018-04-05 | The Fake News Washington Post, Amazon’s “chief lobbyist,” has another (of many) phony headlines, “Trump Defiant As China Adds Trade Penalties.” WRONG!

| 133 | 2018-03-05 | Why did the Obama Administration start an investigation into the Trump Campaign (with zero proof of wrongdoing) long before the Election in November?

| 132 | 2018-02-20 | “There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America’s elections, there’s no evidence that that has happened in the past or that it will happen this time, and so I’d invite Mr. Trump to stop whining and make his case to get votes.” ….The President Obama quote just before election. That’s because he thought Crooked Hillary was going to win and he didn’t want to “rock the boat.” When I easily won the Electoral College, the whole game changed and the Russian excuse became the narrative of the Dems. https://t.co/59Wli8q1pN | RUS |

| 118 & 119 | 2018-01-03 | North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works! https://t.co/EvTgZxiji0 | PRK, USA |
| 117 | 2018-01-02 | It’s not only Pakistan that we pay billions of dollars to for nothing, but also many other countries, and others. As an example, we pay the Palestinians HUNDRED OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS a year and get no appreciation or respect. They don’t even want to negotiate a long overdue….peace treaty with Israel. We have taken Jerusalem, the toughest part of the negotiation, off the table, but Israel, for that, would have had to pay more. But with the Palestinians no longer willing to talk peace, why should we make any of these massive future payments to them? https://t.co/on5fwpqknG | PAK |
| 116 | 2018-01-02 | Sanctions and “other” pressures are beginning to have a big impact on North Korea. Soldiers are dangerously fleeing to South Korea. Rocket man now wants to talk to South Korea for first time. Perhaps that is good news, perhaps not – we will see! https://t.co/lFl6Gb81V7 | PRK |
| 115 | 2018-01-02 | The people of Iran are finally acting against the brutal and corrupt Iranian regime. All of the money that President Obama so foolishly gave them went into terrorism and into their “pockets.” The people have little food, big inflation and no human rights. The U.S. is watching! https://t.co/AjDsIsx0Gk | IRN |
| 114 | 2018-01-01 | Iran is failing at every level despite the terrible deal made with them by the Obama Administration. The great Iranian people have been repressed for many years. They are hungry for food & for freedom. Along with human rights, the wealth of Iran is being looted. TIME FOR CHANGE! https://t.co/DaPjy8hPH5 | IRN |
| 113 | 2018-01-01 | The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more! https://t.co/TuiaWGtnbR | PAK |
| 112 | 2017-12-31 | Iran, the Number One State of Sponsored Terror with numerous violations of Human Rights occurring on an hourly basis, has now closed down the Internet so that peaceful demonstrators cannot communicate. Not good! https://t.co/EHq72J2QaP | IRN |
| 111 | 2017-12-31 | Big protests in Iran. The people are finally getting wise as to how their money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism. Looks like they will not take it any longer. The USA is watching very closely for human rights violations! https://t.co/3AhXkVG6Lh | IRN |

| 108 | 2017-12-30 | Many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with regime’s corruption & its squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad. Iranian govt should respect their people’s rights, including right to express themselves. The world is watching! #IranProtests https://t.co/bL9JMWQ6bZ | IRN |

| 106 | 2017-11-12 | The Chinese Envoy, who just returned from North Korea, seems to have had no impact on Little Rocket Man. Hard to believe his people, and the military, put up with living in such horrible conditions. Russia and China condemned the launch. https://t.co/ZySsGTqQHp | PRK |

| 101 | 2017-11-08 | The North Korean regime has pursued its nuclear & ballistic missile programs in defiance of every assurance, agreement, & commmitment it has made to the U.S. and its allies. It’s broken all of those commitments… https://t.co/J7WklThu2q | PRK |

Instead they look at phony Trump/Russia,….”collusion,” which doesn’t exist. The Dems are using this terrible (and bad for our country) Witch Hunt for evil politics, but the R’s…..are now fighting back like never before.

| 91 | 2017-10-08 | Senator Bob Corker “begged” me to endorse him for re-election in Tennessee. I said “NO” and he dropped out (said he could not win without….my endorsement). He also wanted to be Secretary of State, I said “NO THANKS.” He is also largely responsible for the horrendous Iran Deal!…Hence, I would fully expect Corker to be a negative voice and stand in the way of our great agenda. Didn’t have the guts to run! | IRN |
| 90 | 2017-10-07 | Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid….hasn’t worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, makings fools of U.S. negotiators. Sorry, but only one thing will work! | PRK |

| 25 | 2017-02-04 | The judge opens up our country to potential terrorists and others that do not have our best interests at heart. Bad people are very happy! | IRN |
| 24 | 2017-02-04 | Because the ban was lifted by a judge, many very bad and dangerous people may be pouring into our country. A terrible decision | IRN |
| 23 | 2017-02-04 | What is our country coming to when a judge can halt a Homeland Security travel ban and anyone, even with bad intentions, can come into U.S.? | IRN |
| 22 | 2017-02-04 | Interesting that certain Middle-Eastern countries agree with the ban. They know if certain people are allowed in it’s death & destruction! | IRN |

| 18 | 2017-02-01 | Iran is rapidly taking over more and more of Iraq even after the U.S. has squandered three trillion dollars there. Obvious long ago! | IRN |
| 17 | 2017-02-01 | Everybody is arguing whether or not it is a BAN. Call it what you want, it is about keeping bad people (with bad intentions) out of country! | IRN |
| 16 | 2017-01-30 | If the ban were announced with a one week notice, the “bad” would rush into our country during that week. A lot of bad “dudes” out there! | IRN |
| 15 | 2017-01-30 | There is nothing nice about searching for terrorists before they can enter our country. This was a big part of my campaign. Study the world! | IRN |
| 14 | 2017-01-29 | Statement Regarding Recent Executive Order Concerning Extreme Vetting: https://t.co/f6JO60I0Ul | IRN |
| 13 | 2017-01-29 | The joint statement of former presidential candidates John McCain & Lindsey Graham is wrong – they are sadly weak on immigration. The two Senators should focus their energies on ISIS, illegal immigration and border security instead of always looking to start World War III. | IRN |
| 12 | 2017-01-29 | Christians in the Middle-East have been executed in large numbers. We cannot allow this horror to continue! | IRN |

| 9 | 2017-01-02 | China has been taking out massive amounts of money & wealth from the U.S. in totally one-sided trade, but won’t help with North Korea. Nice! | CHN |
| 8 | 2017-01-02 | North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the U.S. It won’t happen! | PRK |
| 7 | 2016-12-28 | We cannot continue to let Israel be treated with such total disdain and disrespect. They used to have a great friend in the U.S., but not anymore. The beginning of the end was the horrible Iran deal, and now this (U.N.)! Stay strong Israel, January 20th is fast approaching! | IRN |
| 6 | 2016-12-22 | The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes. | USA |

| 3 | 2016-12-03 | Did China ask us if it was OK to devalue their currency (making it hard for our companies to compete), heavily tax our products going into their country (the U.S. doesn’t tax them) or to build a massive military complex in the middle of the South China Sea? I don’t think so! | CHN |

Rage tweets
We define rage tweets as those sent by the Donald when he’s a bit (more) out of control, a bit less careful even than usual. These are tweets that:
- Have excessive caps. The internet version of shouting at the top of his lungs.
- Rant for
3 or more split tweets420 characters or more. It’s140280 characters, Mr. President. When he goes way, way, over, it’s an indicator that he’s particularly irked by something.- NOTE – Original criteria was 3 140-character tweets, or 420 characters, which worked out to 3.04x the median length of all the The Donald’s non-rage tweets (138). For tweets made after Twitter’s 7 November 2017 doubling of the character limit, we have scaled our definition of a rant appropriately, to anything over 681 characters (the median length of @realDonaldTrump’s non-rage tweets after the change is 227).
- Here is Trump’s first expanded-length tweet. Ok, technically his first was a retweet of the US Coast Guard account on 30 September 2017, but they were part of the early rollout; Trump himself was not.
- Language. He hasn’t started swearing or anything on Twitter, but particularly harsh language can earn a spot on this list.
- Exceptions: Tweets that are clearly intended to be read as positive, boastful, or obviously not rage-induced, or retweets and quotes, such as:
HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY - MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The Radical Left Democrats, working closely with their beloved partner, the Fake News Media, is using every trick in the book to SILENCE a majority of our Country.

Stop working soooo hard on being politically correct, which will only bring you down, and continue to fight for our Country. The losers all want what you have, don’t give it to them. Be strong & prosper, be weak & die! Stay true….to the people that got you there. Keep fighting for Tucker, and fight hard for @JudgeJeanine. Your competitors are jealous – they all want what you’ve got – NUMBER ONE. Don’t hand it to them on a silver platter.

| 97 | 2019-03-15 | So, if there was knowingly & acknowledged to be “zero” crime when the Special Counsel was appointed, and if the appointment was made based on the Fake Dossier (paid for by Crooked Hillary) and now disgraced Andrew McCabe (he & all stated no crime), then the Special Counsel….should never have been appointed and there should be no Mueller Report. This was an illegal & conflicted investigation in search of a crime. Russian Collusion was nothing more than an excuse by the Democrats for losing an Election that they thought they were going to win….THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO A PRESIDENT AGAIN! | Mueller report incoming. |
| 96 | 2019-03-14 | VETO! | Trump issues his first veto, of the disapproval resolution trying to block his National Emergency declaration, issued because Congress didn’t give him the money he said he wanted for the Southern Border Wall. |

| 92 | 2019-02-25 | It is my honor today to announce that Danny Burch, a United States citizen who has been held hostage in Yemen for 18 months, has been recovered and reunited with his wife and children. I appreciate the support of the United Arab Emirates in bringing Danny home….Danny’s recovery reflects the best of what the United States & its partners can accomplish.\nWe work every day to bring Americans home. We maintain constant and intensive diplomatic, intelligence, and law enforcement cooperation within the United States Government and with….our foreign partners. Recovering American hostages is a priority of my Admin, and with Danny’s release, we have now secured freedom for 20 American captives since my election victory. We will not rest as we continue our work to bring the remaining American hostages back home! | He brought home a hostage. |
| 91 | 2019-02-22 | Highly respected Senator Richard Burr, head of Senate Intelligence, said, after interviewing over 200 witnesses and studying over 2 million pages of documents, “WE HAVE FOUND NO COLLUSION BETWEEN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA.” The Witch Hunt, so bad for our Country, must end! | No collusion. |

| 85 | 2019-01-31 | China’s top trade negotiators are in the U.S. meeting with our representatives. Meetings are going well with good intent and spirit on both sides. China does not want an increase in Tariffs and feels they will do much better if they make a deal. They are correct. I will be….meeting with their top leaders and representatives today in the Oval Office. No final deal will be made until my friend President Xi, and I, meet in the near future to discuss and agree on some of the long standing and more difficult points. Very comprehensive transaction….China’s representatives and I are trying to do a complete deal, leaving NOTHING unresolved on the table. All of the many problems are being discussed and will be hopefully resolved. Tariffs on China increase to 25% on March 1st, so all working hard to complete by that date! | Updates from the trade wars. |
| 84 | 2019-01-30 | When I became President, ISIS was out of control in Syria & running rampant. Since then tremendous progress made, especially over last 5 weeks. Caliphate will soon be destroyed, unthinkable two years ago. Negotiating are proceeding well in Afghanistan after 18 years of fighting….Fighting continues but the people of Afghanistan want peace in this never ending war. We will soon see if talks will be successful? North Korea relationship is best it has ever been with U.S. No testing, getting remains, hostages returned. Decent chance of Denuclearization….Time will tell what will happen with North Korea, but at the end of the previous administration, relationship was horrendous and very bad things were about to happen. Now a whole different story. I look forward to seeing Kim Jong Un shortly. Progress being made-big difference! | Lists of the Trump Administration’s “successes.” |

| 75 | 2019-01-12 | Wow, just learned in the Failing New York Times that the corrupt former leaders of the FBI, almost all fired or forced to leave the agency for some very bad reasons, opened up an investigation on me, for no reason & with no proof, after I fired Lyin’ James Comey, a total sleaze!….Funny thing about James Comey. Everybody wanted him fired, Republican and Democrat alike. After the rigged & botched Crooked Hillary investigation, where she was interviewed on July 4th Weekend, not recorded or sworn in, and where she said she didn’t know anything (a lie),….the FBI was in complete turmoil (see N.Y. Post) because of Comey’s poor leadership and the way he handled the Clinton mess (not to mention his usurpation of powers from the Justice Department). My firing of James Comey was a great day for America. He was a Crooked Cop….who is being totally protected by his best friend, Bob Mueller, & the 13 Angry Democrats – leaking machines who have NO interest in going after the Real Collusion (and much more) by Crooked Hillary Clinton, her Campaign, and the Democratic National Committee. Just Watch! | Time to remind people about James Comey again. |
| 74 | 2019-01-07 | With all of the success that our Country is having, including the just released jobs numbers which are off the charts, the Fake News & totally dishonest Media concerning me and my presidency has never been worse. Many have become crazed lunatics who have given up on the TRUTH!….The Fake News will knowingly lie and demean in order make the tremendous success of the Trump Administration, and me, look as bad as possible. They use non-existent sources & write stories that are total fiction. Our Country is doing so well, yet this is a sad day in America!….The Fake News Media in our Country is the real Opposition Party. It is truly the Enemy of the People! We must bring honesty back to journalism and reporting! | Another day in the Great Media Wars. |
| 73 | 2019-01-01 | HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE HATERS AND THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA! 2019 WILL BE A FANTASTIC YEAR FOR THOSE NOT SUFFERING FROM TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. JUST CALM DOWN AND ENJOY THE RIDE, GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING FOR OUR COUNTRY! | Another day in the Great Media Wars. |
| 72 | 2018-12-31 | If anybody but Donald Trump did what I did in Syria, which was an ISIS loaded mess when I became President, they would be a national hero. ISIS is mostly gone, we’re slowly sending our troops back home to be with their families, while at the same time fighting ISIS remnants….I campaigned on getting out of Syria and other places. Now when I start getting out the Fake News Media, or some failed Generals who were unable to do the job before I arrived, like to complain about me & my tactics, which are working. Just doing what I said I was going to do!….Except the results are FAR BETTER than I ever said they were going to be! I campaigned against the NEVER ENDING WARS, remember! | Waiting in the Oval Office, waiting for someone to call him and let him know that the Democrats have caved and given him his Wall money. |
| 71 | 2018-12-28 | We will be forced to close the Southern Border entirely if the Obstructionist Democrats do not give us the money to finish the Wall & also change the ridiculous immigration laws that our Country is saddled with. Hard to believe there was a Congress & President who would approve!….The United States looses soooo much money on Trade with Mexico under NAFTA, over 75 Billion Dollars a year (not including Drug Money which would be many times that amount), that I would consider closing the Southern Border a “profit making operation.” We build a Wall or……close the Southern Border. Bring our car industry back into the United States where it belongs. Go back to pre-NAFTA, before so many of our companies and jobs were so foolishly sent to Mexico. Either we build (finish) the Wall or we close the Border……Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador are doing nothing for the United States but taking our money. Word is that a new Caravan is forming in Honduras and they are doing nothing about it. We will be cutting off all aid to these 3 countries – taking advantage of U.S. for years! | Government still shut down, and the President seems a bit surprised that the Democrats haven’t blinked, like they did the last time. |

| 68 | 2018-12-13 | WITCH HUNT! | Mueller. Again. |
| 67 | 2018-12-13 | I never directed Michael Cohen to break the law. He was a lawyer and he is supposed to know the law. It is called “advice of counsel,” and a lawyer has great liability if a mistake is made. That is why they get paid. Despite that many campaign finance lawyers have strongly……stated that I did nothing wrong with respect to campaign finance laws, if they even apply, because this was not campaign finance. Cohen was guilty on many charges unrelated to me, but he plead to two campaign charges which were not criminal and of which he probably was not….guilty even on a civil basis. Those charges were just agreed to by him in order to embarrass the president and get a much reduced prison sentence, which he did-including the fact that his family was temporarily let off the hook. As a lawyer, Michael has great liability to me! | “I told Michael Cohen, my lawyer, to pay off Stormy Daniels, but to do this illegal thing in a legal way.” |
| 66 | 2018-12-11 | Despite the large Caravans that WERE forming and heading to our Country, people have not been able to get through our newly built Walls, makeshift Walls & Fences, or Border Patrol Officers & Military. They are now staying in Mexico or going back to their original countries….Ice, Border Patrol and our Military have done a FANTASTIC job of securing our Southern Border. A Great Wall would be, however, a far easier & less expensive solution. We have already built large new sections & fully renovated others, making them like new. The Democrats,….however, for strictly political reasons and because they have been pulled so far left, do NOT want Border Security. They want Open Borders for anyone to come in. This brings large scale crime and disease. Our Southern Border is now Secure and will remain that way….I look forward to my meeting with Chuck Schumer & Nancy Pelosi. In 2006, Democrats voted for a Wall, and they were right to do so. Today, they no longer want Border Security. They will fight it at all cost, and Nancy must get votes for Speaker. But the Wall will get built….People do not yet realize how much of the Wall, including really effective renovation, has already been built. If the Democrats do not give us the votes to secure our Country, the Military will build the remaining sections of the Wall. They know how important it is! | “Why isn’t Congress giving me my Wall? I’m the President and what I say goes!” |
| 65 | 2018-12-08 | AFTER TWO YEARS AND MILLIONS OF PAGES OF DOCUMENTS (and a cost of over $30,000,000), NO COLLUSION! | Mueller. Again. |
| 64 | 2018-12-07 | Robert Mueller and Leakin’ Lyin’ James Comey are Best Friends, just one of many Mueller Conflicts of Interest. And bye the way, wasn’t the woman in charge of prosecuting Jerome Corsi (who I do not know) in charge of “legal” at the corrupt Clinton Foundation? A total Witch Hunt….Will Robert Mueller’s big time conflicts of interest be listed at the top of his Republicans only Report. Will Andrew Weissman’s horrible and vicious prosecutorial past be listed in the Report. He wrongly destroyed people’s lives, took down great companies, only to be….overturned, 9-0, in the United States Supreme Court. Doing same thing to people now. Will all of the substantial & many contributions made by the 17 Angry Democrats to the Campaign of Crooked Hillary be listed in top of Report. Will the people that worked for the Clinton….Foundation be listed at the top of the Report? Will the scathing document written about Lyin’ James Comey, by the man in charge of the case, Rod Rosenstein (who also signed the FISA Warrant), be a big part of the Report? Isn’t Rod therefore totally conflicted? Will all of….the lying and leaking by the people doing the Report, & also Bruce Ohr (and his lovely wife Molly), Comey, Brennan, Clapper, & all of the many fired people of the FBI, be listed in the Report? Will the corruption within the DNC & Clinton Campaign be exposed?..And so much more! | See below. |
| 63 | 2018-12-07 | FAKE NEWS – THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! | In the previous week, Flynn, Manafort, and Cohen all had their guilty pleas reviewed, and the Russia investigation dominated the news. |
| 62 | 2018-12-04 | The negotiations with China have already started. Unless extended, they will end 90 days from the date of our wonderful and very warm dinner with President Xi in Argentina. Bob Lighthizer will be working closely with Steve Mnuchin, Larry Kudlow, Wilbur Ross and Peter Navarro….on seeing whether or not a REAL deal with China is actually possible. If it is, we will get it done. China is supposed to start buying Agricultural product and more immediately. President Xi and I want this deal to happen, and it probably will. But if not remember,….I am a Tariff Man. When people or countries come in to raid the great wealth of our Nation, I want them to pay for the privilege of doing so. It will always be the best way to max out our economic power. We are right now taking in $billions in Tariffs. MAKE AMERICA RICH AGAIN….But if a fair deal is able to be made with China, one that does all of the many things we know must be finally done, I will happily sign. Let the negotiations begin. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! | Flip-flopping on whether or not his trade war with China is going to end. At the G20, it was all good between Xi and Trump. A few days later, Trump had (apparently) changed his mind. |
| 61 | 2018-11-27 | The Phony Witch Hunt continues, but Mueller and his gang of Angry Dems are only looking at one side, not the other. Wait until it comes out how horribly & viciously they are treating people, ruining lives for them refusing to lie. Mueller is a conflicted prosecutor gone rogue….The Fake News Media builds Bob Mueller up as a Saint, when in actuality he is the exact opposite. He is doing TREMENDOUS damage to our Criminal Justice System, where he is only looking at one side and not the other. Heroes will come of this, and it won’t be Mueller and his….terrible Gang of Angry Democrats. Look at their past, and look where they come from. The now $30,000,000 Witch Hunt continues and they’ve got nothing but ruined lives. Where is the Server? Let these terrible people go back to the Clinton Foundation and “Justice” Department! | Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s plea deal broke down after he repeatedly lied to the Mueller Investigation. Trump is starting to feel the walls closing in, perhaps. |
| 60 | 2018-11-12 | Just returned from France where much was accomplished in my meetings with World Leaders. Never easy bringing up the fact that the U.S. must be treated fairly, which it hasn’t, on both Military and Trade. We pay for LARGE portions of other countries military protection,….hundreds of billions of dollars, for the great privilege of losing hundreds of billions of dollars with these same countries on trade. I told them that this situation cannot continue – It is, and always has been, ridiculously unfair to the United States. Massive amounts…..of money spent on protecting other countries, and we get nothing but Trade Deficits and Losses. It is time that these very rich countries either pay the United States for its great military protection, or protect themselves…and Trade must be made FREE and FAIR! | The Europeans were mean and criticized Donald for not showing up to their ceremony in the rain. |
| 59 | 2018-10-18 | I am watching the Democrat Party led (because they want Open Borders and existing weak laws) assault on our country by Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, whose leaders are doing little to stop this large flow of people, INCLUDING MANY CRIMINALS, from entering Mexico to U.S…..In addition to stopping all payments to these countries, which seem to have almost no control over their population, I must, in the strongest of terms, ask Mexico to stop this onslaught – and if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER!….The assault on our country at our Southern Border, including the Criminal elements and DRUGS pouring in, is far more important to me, as President, than Trade or the USMCA. Hopefully Mexico will stop this onslaught at their Northern Border. All Democrats fault for weak laws! | Fearmongering about an incoming immigrant caravan to try and motivate Republican voters to turn out in the November midterms. It seemed to work relatively well (though the party still got hammered, it would have been worse). |

| 56 | 2018-10-03 | I see it each time I go out to Rallies in order to help some of our great Republican candidates. VOTERS ARE REALLY ANGRY AT THE VICIOUS AND DESPICABLE WAY DEMOCRATS ARE TREATING BRETT KAVANAUGH! He and his wonderful family deserve much better. | The President feels his supreme court pick’s pain at being accused of sexual assault by multiple women. |

| 52 | 2018-08-29 | STATEMENT FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. President Donald J. Trump feels strongly that North Korea is under tremendous pressure from China because of our major trade disputes with the Chinese Government. At the same time, we also know that China is providing North Korea with….considerable aid, including money, fuel, fertilizer and various other commodities. This is not helpful! Nonetheless, the President believes that his relationship with Kim Jong Un is a very good and warm one, and there is no reason at this time to be spending large amounts….of money on joint U.S.-South Korea war games. Besides, the President can instantly start the joint exercises again with South Korea, and Japan, if he so chooses. If he does, they will be far bigger than ever before. As for the U.S.–China trade disputes, and other….differences, they will be resolved in time by President Trump and China’s great President Xi Jinping. Their relationship and bond remain very strong. | The deal with North Korea hasn’t been as successful as he’d hoped, so it must be China’s fault. |
| 51 | 2018-08-23 | NO COLLUSION – RIGGED WITCH HUNT! | See: every other time he’s said this. |
| 51 | 2018-08-18 | Social Media is totally discriminating against Republican/Conservative voices. Speaking loudly and clearly for the Trump Administration, we won’t let that happen. They are closing down the opinions of many people on the RIGHT, while at the same time doing nothing to others….Censorship is a very dangerous thing & absolutely impossible to police. If you are weeding out Fake News, there is nothing so Fake as CNN & MSNBC, & yet I do not ask that their sick behavior be removed. I get used to it and watch with a grain of salt, or don’t watch at all….Too many voices are being destroyed, some good & some bad, and that cannot be allowed to happen. Who is making the choices, because I can already tell you that too many mistakes are being made. Let everybody participate, good & bad, and we will all just have to figure it out! | Trump Googled ‘Trump News’ and didn’t find enough conservative outlets at the top of the traffic-driven Google search results. It can’t be because not a lot of people are visiting those sites, but must rather be the Tech companies conspiring against him. |
| 49 | 2018-08-15 | THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA IS THE OPPOSITION PARTY. It is very bad for our Great Country….BUT WE ARE WINNING! | The Boston Gloe led ~300 papers in publishing editorials pushing back against the anti-media rhetoric coming out of the White House. Trump was not amused. |
| 48 | 2018-08-14 | Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch: “The Strzok firing is as much about the Mueller operation as anything else. There would be no Mueller Special Councel to investigate so called collusion but for the machinations of Strzok & his colleagues at the top levels of the FBI. We know this….guy was corrupt and had anti-Trump animus. Strzok and others at the FBI should be criminally investigated for the way the conducted this investigation. Instead, Mueller is pretending nothing went wrong. He used Strzok, he used the Clinton DNC Dossier…the whole thing….should be shut down. The Strzok firing shows that the fundamental underpinnings of the investigation were corrupt. It should be shut down by the courts or by honest prosecutors.” Thank you Judicial Watch, I couldn’t have said it better myself! | There’s nothing to see here. It’s all a conspiracy by the Deep State, which is infested with leftists. |
| 47 | 2018-08-04 | Tariffs are working far better than anyone ever anticipated. China market has dropped 27% in last 4months, and they are talking to us. Our market is stronger than ever, and will go up dramatically when these horrible Trade Deals are successfully renegotiated. America First….Tariffs have had a tremendous positive impact on our Steel Industry. Plants are opening all over the U.S., Steelworkers are working again, and big dollars are flowing into our Treasury. Other countries use Tariffs against, but when we use them, foolish people scream!….Tariffs will make our country much richer than it is today. Only fools would disagree. We are using them to negotiate fair trade deals and, if countries are still unwilling to negotiate, they will pay us vast sums of money in the form of Tariffs. We win either way….China, which is for the first time doing poorly against us, is spending a fortune on ads and P.R. trying to convince and scare our politicians to fight me on Tariffs- because they are really hurting their economy. Likewise other countries. We are Winning, but must be strong! | Just trust the Donald, because only he knows that Trade Wars are Good, and Easy to Win. |
| 46 | 2018-08-01 | “FBI Agent Peter Strzok (on the Mueller team) should have recused himself on day one. He was out to STOP THE ELECTION OF DONALD TRUMP. He needed an insurance policy. Those are illegal, improper goals, trying to influence the Election. He should never, ever been allowed to….remain in the FBI while he himself was being investigated. This is a real issue. It won’t go into a Mueller Report because Mueller is going to protect these guys. Mueller has an interest in creating the illusion of objectivity around his investigation.” ALAN DERSHOWITZ….This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA! https://t.co/dI69iTTQOS | Former campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s trial is pretty clearly causing Donald to up the pressure on the Department of Justice to drop the whole Russia investigation. |
| 45 | 2018-07-29 | When the media – driven insane by their Trump Derangement Syndrome – reveals internal deliberations of our government, it truly puts the lives of many, not just journalists, at risk! Very unpatriotic! Freedom of the press also comes with a responsibility to report the news….accurately. 90% of media coverage of my Administration is negative, despite the tremendously positive results we are achieving, it’s no surprise that confidence in the media is at an all time low! I will not allow our great country to be sold out by anti-Trump haters in the…dying newspaper industry. No matter how much they try to distract and cover it up, our country is making great progress under my leadership and I will never stop fighting for the American people! As an example, the failing New York Times… https://t.co/UVMw8JEf8i …and the Amazon Washington Post do nothing but write bad stories even on very positive achievements – and they will never change! | Donald is sad that the mean media keep reporting all the bad things he keeps doing and don’t say anything nice. |
| 44 | 2018-07-27 | Arrived back in Washington last night from a very emotional reopening of a major U.S. Steel plant in Granite City, Illinois, only to be greeted with the ridiculous news that the highly conflicted Robert Mueller and his gang of 13 Angry Democrats obviously cannot find Collusion….,the only Collusion with Russia was with the Democrats, so now they are looking at my Tweets (along with 53 million other people) – the rigged Witch Hunt continues! How stupid and unfair to our Country….And so the Fake News doesn’t waste my time with dumb questions, NO,….I did NOT know of the meeting with my son, Don jr. Sounds to me like someone is trying to make up stories in order to get himself out of an unrelated jam (Taxi cabs maybe?). He even retained Bill and Crooked Hillary’s lawyer. Gee, I wonder if they helped him make the choice! https://t.co/NyveRg8BqR | Trump’s former lawyer is now claiming that Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting with the Russians in advance. He’s not too happy about this. |
| 43 | 2018-07-23 | “It was classified to cover up misconduct by the FBI and the Justice Department in misleading the Court by using this Dossier in a dishonest way to gain a warrant to target the Trump Team. This is a Clinton Campaign document. It was a fraud and a hoax designed to target Trump….and the DOJ, FBI and Obama Gang need to be held to account. Source #1 was the major source. Avoided talking about it being the Clinton campaign behind it. Misled the Court to provide a pretext to SPY on the Trump Team. Not about Carter Page..was all about getting Trump….”Carter Page wasn’t a spy, wasn’t an agent of the Russians – he would have cooperated with the FBI. It was a fraud and a hoax designed to target Trump.” Tom Fitton @JudicialWatch A disgrace to America. They should drop the discredited Mueller Witch Hunt now! https://t.co/7Yo9u8T93f | The Carter Page FISA documents were released, laying out the FBI’s argument for probable cause for surveillance. |

| 40 | 2018-06-27 | HOUSE REPUBLICANS SHOULD PASS THE STRONG BUT FAIR IMMIGRATION BILL, KNOWN AS GOODLATTE II, IN THEIR AFTERNOON VOTE TODAY, EVEN THOUGH THE DEMS WON’T LET IT PASS IN THE SENATE.

| 39 | 2018-06-26 | Early this year Harley-Davidson said they would move much of their plant operations in Kansas City to Thailand. That was long before Tariffs were announced. Hence, they were just using Tariffs/Trade War as an excuse. Shows how unbalanced & unfair trade is, but we will fix it….We are getting other countries to reduce and eliminate tariffs and trade barriers that have been unfairly used for years against our farmers, workers and companies. We are opening up closed markets and expanding our footprint. They must play fair or they will pay tariffs!…When I had Harley-Davidson officials over to the White House, I chided them about tariffs in other countries, like India, being too high. Companies are now coming back to America. Harley must know that they won’t be able to sell back into U.S. without paying a big tax!….We are finishing our study of Tariffs on cars from the E.U. in that they have long taken advantage of the U.S. in the form of Trade Barriers and Tariffs. In the end it will all even out – and it won’t take very long! https://t.co/MOBnXWSfYl | Harley-Davidson announced that they would move some production inside the EU to get around retaliatory tariffs levied on US products in response to Trump’s tariffs on European autos. Trump seems personally hurt by this. |

| 37 | 2018-06-11 | Why should I, as President of the United States, allow countries to continue to make Massive Trade Surpluses, as they have for decades, while our Farmers, Workers & Taxpayers have such a big and unfair price to pay? Not fair to the PEOPLE of America! $800 Billion Trade Deficit….And add to that the fact that the U.S. pays close to the entire cost of NATO-protecting many of these same countries that rip us off on Trade (they pay only a fraction of the cost-and laugh!). The European Union had a $151 Billion Surplus-should pay much more for Military!….Germany pays 1% (slowly) of GDP towards NATO, while we pay 4% of a MUCH larger GDP. Does anybody believe that makes sense? We protect Europe (which is good) at great financial loss, and then get unfairly clobbered on Trade. Change is coming! https://t.co/0HGRKefUH7 | The rest of the G-7 club were mean to Donald, especially Canada’s Trudeau, so he got mad at them and lashed out. |
| 36 | 2018-05-30 | Rep.Trey Gowdy, “I don’t think so, I think what the President is doing is expressing frustration that Attorney General Sessions should have shared these reasons for recusal before he took the job, not afterward. If I were the President and I picked someone to be the country’s….hief law enforcement officer, and they told me later, ‘oh by the way I’m not going to be able to participate in the most important case in the office, I would be frustrated too…and that’s how I read that – Senator Sessions, why didn’t you tell me before I picked you….There are lots of really good lawyers in the country, he could have picked somebody else!” And I wish I did! | The Deep State conspiracy against Trump probably was Obama’s fault, obviously. |
| 35 | 2018-05-23 | WITCH HUNT! | Russia again. |
| 34 | 2018-05-12 | The Wall Street Journal asks, “WHERE IN THE WORLD WAS BARACK OBAMA?” A very good question! | The Deep State conspiracy against Trump probably was Obama’s fault, obviously. |
| 33 | 2018-05-21 | “John Brennan is panicking. He has disgraced himself, he has disgraced the Country, he has disgraced the entire Intelligence Community. He is the one man who is largely responsible for the destruction of American’s faith in the Intelligence Community and in some people at the….top of the FBI. Brennan started this entire debacle about President Trump. We now know that Brennan had detailed knowledge of the (phony) Dossier…he knows about the Dossier, he denies knowledge of the Dossier, he briefs the Gang of 8 on the Hill about the Dossier, which….they then used to start an investigation about Trump. It is that simple. This guy is the genesis of this whole Debacle. This was a Political hit job, this was not an Intelligence Investigation. Brennan has disgraced himself, he’s worried about staying out of Jail.” Dan Bongino https://t.co/UJkGIqjIwi | Everything is part of a Deep State conspiracy to frame Trump. EVERYTHING. |
| 32 | 2018-05-20 | Things are really getting ridiculous. The Failing and Crooked (but not as Crooked as Hillary Clinton) @nytimes has done a long & boring story indicating that the World’s most expensive Witch Hunt has found nothing on Russia & me so now they are looking at the rest of the World! At what point does this soon to be $20,000,000 Witch Hunt, composed of 13 Angry and Heavily Conflicted Democrats and two people who have worked for Obama for 8 years, STOP! They have found no Collussion with Russia, No Obstruction, but they aren’t looking at the corruption….in the Hillary Clinton Campaign where she deleted 33,000 Emails, got $145,000,000 while Secretary of State, paid McCabes wife $700,000 (and got off the FBI hook along with Terry M) and so much more. Republicans and real Americans should start getting tough on this Scam. https://t.co/MWjsRLsRv3 | Russia Russia Russia LOOK AT HILLARY! |
| 31 | 2018-05-17 | Wow, word seems to be coming out that the Obama FBI “SPIED ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WITH AN EMBEDDED INFORMANT.” Andrew McCarthy says, “There’s probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign.” If so, this is bigger than Watergate! https://t.co/Kng10sdHdO | Apparently, a Cambridge professor contacted three members of the Trump Campaign during the election to probe about any potential contacts with Russia at the behest of the FBI. Which Trump interprets as spying on his campaign. |
| 30 | 2018-05-03 | Mr. Cohen, an attorney, received a monthly retainer, not from the campaign and having nothing to do with the campaign, from which he entered into, through reimbursement, a private contract between two parties, known as a non-disclosure agreement, or NDA. These agreements are….very common among celebrities and people of wealth. In this case it is in full force and effect and will be used in Arbitration for damages against Ms. Clifford (Daniels). The agreement was used to stop the false and extortionist accusations made by her about an affair,….despite already having signed a detailed letter admitting that there was no affair. Prior to its violation by Ms. Clifford and her attorney, this was a private agreement. Money from the campaign, or campaign contributions, played no roll in this transaction. https://t.co/MvJNo3D9xM | Trump flipped his story on the affair yet again, feeling the need to go out of his way to reiterate that the slush fund out of which Trump reimbursed Cohen to settle with Stormy Daniels had nothing to do with the campaign. Which is a long way from claiming that he didn’t know about any payment. |
| 29 | 2018-04-21 | The New York Times and a third rate reporter named Maggie Haberman, known as a Crooked H flunkie who I don’t speak to and have nothing to do with, are going out of their way to destroy Michael Cohen and his relationship with me in the hope that he will “flip.” They use….non-existent “sources” and a drunk/drugged up loser who hates Michael, a fine person with a wonderful family. Michael is a businessman for his own account/lawyer who I have always liked & respected. Most people will flip if the Government lets them out of trouble, even if….it means lying or making up stories. Sorry, I don’t see Michael doing that despite the horrible Witch Hunt and the dishonest media! | Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal lawyer, had his office, hotel room, and home raided by the FBI (with search warrant) on April 9th. |
| 28 | 2018-04-10 | A TOTAL WITCH HUNT!!! | The FBI raided the house, office, and hotel room of Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal lawyer, after a tip-off from the Mueller investigation. |
| 27 | 2018-04-03 | WE WILL PROTECT OUR SOUTHERN BORDER! https://t.co/Z7fqQKcnez | Immigration fearmongering. Repeat. |
| 26 | 2018-03-13 | THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE HAS, AFTER A 14 MONTH LONG IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION, FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION OR COORDINATION BETWEEN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA TO INFLUENCE THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. https://t.co/cdRy6HvVZS | The House Intelligence Committee’s REPUBLICAN members released a report. The Democrats are preparing a counter. |
| 25 | 2018-02-27 | WITCH HUNT! | Translation: “Why won’t the whole Russia investigation go away? I’ve said nothing happened, and its persistence is undermining the legitimacy of my glorious election victory.” |
| 24 | 2018-02-24 | BIG CPAC STRAW POLL RESULTS: 93% APPROVE OF THE JOB PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DOING (Thank you!). 50% say President Trump should Tweet MORE or SAME (funny!). 79% say Republicans in Congress should do a better job of working with President Trump (starting to happen). https://t.co/QavF7yVap4 | Ongoing frustration at his poll numbers continuing to lag in the high 30s and low 40s nationally, Trump takes solace basking in the warm embrace of sampling bias. |
| 23 | 2018-02-22 | I never said “give teachers guns” like was stated on Fake News @CNN & @NBC. What I said was to look at the possibility of giving “concealed guns to gun adept teachers with military or special training experience – only the best. 20% of teachers, a lot, would now be able to….immediately fire back if a savage sicko came to a school with bad intentions. Highly trained teachers would also serve as a deterrent to the cowards that do this. Far more assets at much less cost than guards. A “gun free” school is a magnet for bad people. ATTACKS WOULD END!….History shows that a school shooting lasts, on average, 3 minutes. It takes police & first responders approximately 5 to 8 minutes to get to site of crime. Highly trained, gun adept, teachers/coaches would solve the problem instantly, before police arrive. GREAT DETERRENT!….If a potential “sicko shooter” knows that a school has a large number of very weapons talented teachers (and others) who will be instantly shooting, the sicko will NEVER attack that school. Cowards won’t go there…problem solved. Must be offensive, defense alone won’t work! https://t.co/NTnUcZxrle | Trump quadruples-down after his idea that arming teachers is the solution to school shootings is pretty generally ridiculed, including by the lawmakers who would need to enact such legislation. |
| 22 | 2018-02-07 | NEW FBI TEXTS ARE BOMBSHELLS! | Trying to discredit the FBI (and, specifically, the Special Counsel investigation into Russia), pushing an (almost immediately discredited) conspiracy theory about the Deep-State FBI wire-tapping his campaign. |
| 21 | 2018-01-12 | The so-called bipartisan DACA deal presented yesterday to myself and a group of Republican Senators and Congressmen was a big step backwards. Wall was not properly funded, Chain & Lottery were made worse and USA would be forced to take large numbers of people from high crime…..countries which are doing badly. I want a merit based system of immigration and people who will help take our country to the next level. I want safety and security for our people. I want to stop the massive inflow of drugs. I want to fund our military, not do a Dem defund….Because of the Democrats not being interested in life and safety, DACA has now taken a big step backwards. The Dems will threaten “shutdown,” but what they are really doing is shutting down our military, at a time we need it most. Get smart, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! https://t.co/YzEuBuYGrs | DACA negotiations breaking down, mostly because the Democrats will not budge on including border wall funding. |
| 20 | 2018-01-06 | Now that Russian collusion, after one year of intense study, has proven to be a total hoax on the American public, the Democrats and their lapdogs, the Fake News Mainstream Media, are taking out the old Ronald Reagan playbook and screaming mental stability and intelligence….Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star….to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius….and a very stable genius at that! https://t.co/X3UO2xDvEv | Michael Wolff’s 5 January release of Fire and Fury, a tell-all book questioning Trump’s mental fitness, among other things. |
| 19 | 2017-10-29 | Never seen such Republican ANGER & UNITY as I have concerning the lack of investigation on Clinton made Fake Dossier (now $12,000,000?),….the Uranium to Russia deal, the 33,000 plus deleted Emails, the Comey fix and so much more. Instead they look at phony Trump/Russia,….”collusion,” which doesn’t exist. The Dems are using this terrible (and bad for our country) Witch Hunt for evil politics, but the R’s….are now fighting back like never before. There is so much GUILT by Democrats/Clinton, and now the facts are pouring out. DO SOMETHING! | Trump’s greatest hope, being able to deflect the attention of the Russia probe by trumpeting the news that the Clinton campaign helped pay British secret agent Christopher Steele for the “pee tape.” |
| 18 | 2017-10-25 | MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! https://t.co/CbEwJSQ1A3 | GOP infighting ramps up as Corker and Flake savage Trump after announcing they will not be standing for elections, dominating the news cycle instead of Trump’s desired push for Tax Reform. |
| 17 | 2017-10-22 | It is finally sinking through. 46% OF PEOPLE BELIEVE MAJOR NATIONAL NEWS ORGS FABRICATE STORIES ABOUT ME. FAKE NEWS, even worse! Lost cred. | Trump’s continued frustration with the refusal of the media to highlight positive stories about him (such as the stock market) and their role in disseminating news about scandals like the controversy over his condolence calls to soldiers killed in action. |
| 16 | 2017-07-26 | IN AMERICA WE DON’T WORSHIP GOVERNMENT – WE WORSHIP GOD! ? https://t.co/jIejSgVnnA | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

| 13 | 2017-03-03 | Jeff Sessions is an honest man. He did not say anything wrong. He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not intentional. This whole narrative is a way of saving face for Democrats losing an election that everyone thought they were supposed to win. The Democrats are overplaying their hand. They lost the election, and now they have lost their grip on reality. The real story is all of the illegal leaks of classified and other information. It is a total “witch hunt!” | Jeff Sessions contacts with Russia. |
| 12 | 2017-02-12 | 72% of refugees admitted into U.S. (2/3 -2/11) during COURT BREAKDOWN are from 7 countries: SYRIA, IRAQ, SOMALIA, IRAN, SUDAN, LIBYA & YEMEN | Loss in State of Washington v. Trump. |

| 9 | 2017-01-11 | INTELLIGENCE INSIDERS NOW CLAIM THE TRUMP DOSSIER IS “A COMPLETE FRAUD!” @OANN | Russian blackmail intelligence report |
| 8 | 2017-01-13 | It now turns out that the phony allegations against me were put together by my political opponents and a failed spy afraid of being sued….Totally made up facts by sleazebag political operatives, both Democrats and Republicans – FAKE NEWS! Russia says nothing exists. Probably…released by “Intelligence” even knowing there is no proof, and never will be. My people will have a full report on hacking within 90 days! | Russian blackmail intelligence report |
| 7 | 2017-01-11 | Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA – NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING! | Russian blackmail intelligence report |
| 6 | 2017-01-11 | Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is “A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE.” Very unfair! | Russian blackmail intelligence report |
| 5 | 2017-01-11 | FAKE NEWS – A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT! | Russian blackmail intelligence report |
| 4 | 2017-01-09 | Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn’t know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a…..Hillary flunky who lost big. For the 100th time, I never “mocked” a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him…….groveling when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media! | Streep crticism at the Golden Globes |
| 3 | 2016-12-04 | The U.S. is going to substantially reduce taxes and regulations on businesses, but any business that leaves our country for another country, fires its employees, builds a new factory or plant in the other country, and then thinks it will sell its product back into the U.S. ……without retribution or consequence, is WRONG! There will be a tax on our soon to be strong border of 35% for these companies ……wanting to sell their product, cars, A.C. units etc., back across the border. This tax will make leaving financially difficult, but…..these companies are able to move between all 50 states, with no tax or tariff being charged. Please be forewarned prior to making a very …expensive mistake! THE UNITED STATES IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS | ? |
| 2 | 2016-11-30 | I will be holding a major news conference in New York City with my children on December 15 to discuss the fact that I will be leaving my great business in total in order to fully focus on running the country in order to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! While I am not mandated to ….do this under the law, I feel it is visually important, as President, to in no way have a conflict of interest with my various businesses..Hence, legal documents are being crafted which take me completely out of business operations. The Presidency is a far more important task! | Emoluments and other such whispers of corruption. |
| 1 | 2016-11-27 | Hillary’s debate answer on delay: “That is horrifying. That is not the way our democracy works. Been around for 240 years. We’ve had free — and fair elections. We’ve accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them, and that is what must be expected of anyone standing on a – during a general election. I, for one, am appalled that somebody that is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that kind — of position.” Then, separately she stated, “He said something truly horrifying … he refused to say that he would respect the results of — this election. That is a direct threat to our democracy.” She then said, “We have to accept the results and look to the future, Donald — Trump is going to be our President. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead.” So much time and money will be spent – same result! Sad | Recounts in WI, MI, & PA |
Term significance (TF-IDF) compared to other Washington tweeters
How unusual, compared to other politicians who tweet, is Trump’s Twitter activity? That is to say, what terms (n-grams, for the purposes of this study) are important to his tweets but not commonly used by other politicians?
The Executive Actions Threat Board
Here’s the list of our causes under threat and the Executive actions that are (already) putting them under assault, sorted from Trump’s top early priorities to ones he’ll get around to when he has time in his busy schedule. Lots of things need destroying, and some are just going to have to wait their turn. We’re defining executive actions as:
- Executive orders
- Presidential memoranda
- Bills signed into law
- Vetoes issued
- Explicit rules issued by executive branch agencies

This undoes much of the Obama-era environmental regulations, focusing on environmental impact studies when issuing federal contracts. | ||
| 9 | Exec. Order | 13783 | Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth | Severe | Fed. agencies to review environmental regulations that can be removed. Revokes Executive Order 13653, Presidential Memorandum 2013-15941, Presidential Memorandum 2015-28466, Presidential Memorandum of 21 September 2016on Climate Change and National Security (among other orders) and suspends the pending Clean Power Plan. | ||

Is there a pattern to the days of the week on which he tweets?
