Can you believe what Trump tweeted tonight?
Nothing. And ain’t it grand?
But when he did have a Twitter account, Donald Trump vomited a slew of inane, unsophisticated insults at everyone from the ABC News to Mort Zuckerberg. He went after friends who became enemies (Michael Cohen) , and enemies that became friends (Lindsey Graham) and friends who became enemies who became friends again (Steve Bannon).
Some poor intern at the New York Times was charged with compiling all of Trump’s Twitter insults posted from when he started his candidacy on June 15, 2016 until his account was permanently suspended January 8, 2021. Some of the greatest hits, from K-Tel:
- “Fake News” 789 times
- “Crooked” 413 times (including “Crooked Hillary” 103 times)
- “Fail”, “Failure”, “Failing”, or “Failed” 312 times
- “Witch hunt” 285 times
- “Sleepy Joe” 174 times (not including “sleepy eyes” to describe Chuck Todd 16 times and Mark Halperin once)
- “Do Nothing” 146 times
- “Lamestream Media” 89 times
- “loser” 71 times (which seems low given that he used it 266 times prior to entering the race, according to the TrumpTwitterArchive.)
- “Angry Democrats” 40 times
