It's not a good day to have push notifications for President Trump's Twitter feed turned on.

The president's Twitter account has exploded with an absurd amount of activity throughout the day on Thursday, as the House Judiciary Committee debated articles of impeachment against him. As of the mid-afternoon, he had overwhelmed followers with more than 100 tweets or retweets.


The day's not even over yet, and The Washington Post reports Trump has already sent more tweets and retweets than he has on any day since he announced his candidacy for president in 2015. The previous record came on Sunday, when he hit 105. The Post notes that Trump sent more tweets or retweets today alone than former President Obama sent on the @POTUS account from May 2016 through January 2017.

The vast majority of Trump's Thursday tweets have been related to the impeachment hearing, although not all; among his first was an attack on 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who he told to "chill" after she was named Time person of the year.

Trump during the impeachment inquiry has insisted he's "too busy" to watch the televised hearings, and he even described himself on Thursday as having a "very busy day," Vox points out. Too busy for more than 100 retweets by mid-afternoon, though? Certainly not. Brendan Morrow
