U.S. President Donald Trump poured out 160 posts on social media (SNS) over about five hours.
According to the Guardian and other British outlets on the 3rd, on the 2nd (local time) from 7:09 p.m. to 11:57 p.m. Eastern time, President Trump posted 160 items on Truth Social, the SNS he founded.
A significant number of the posts were aimed at his opponents. Specifically, he criticized Sen. Mark Kelly (Democrat-Arizona), saying, "You did something wrong, and they know it."
Sen. Kelly, along with six opposition lawmakers including himself, had earlier urged soldiers to refuse "illegal orders" that President Trump issues.
Trump also shared content from figures with a clear right-wing bent, seemingly to rally his base, including conservative-leaning outlet Fox News, commentator Benny Johnson, and far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
There were many self-congratulatory posts as well. A video in which Rep. Byron Donalds (Republican-Florida) praised President Trump was posted twice. A comment calling him the "greatest president ever" was also included.
At one point, more than one post went up per minute. The speed and volume shown that day were on a different level even compared with the aggressive pace President Trump had shown on social media in the past, the Guardian assessed.
After briefly pausing his SNS activity around midnight, President Trump resumed early in the morning, again urging support for Republicans in the Georgia governor's race and the Tennessee House race.
He also posted twice that "Truth Social is the best. Nothing else can catch up."
The Guardian said, "Although controversy over age and stamina continues, with sightings of him nodding off during daytime official events recently, there was no sign of fatigue on social media."
