President Donald Trump posted more than 140 times on Twitter on Wednesday, surpassing his mid-December record for the most daily tweets and retweets during his presidency.

The president flooded his Twitter account during the second day of the Senate’s impeachment trial, with 41 posts hitting the internet between 12 and 1 a.m., or one every 88 seconds, according to the site Factba.se, which tracks and indexes Trump’s tweets and speeches. He broke his all-time record for retweets, with more than 120 by late Wednesday afternoon.


As the Senate trial began, Trump tweeted about his recent trade deal with China and praised President Xi Jingpin as a “man who truly loves his country.” Mixed in with retweets and tweets about his “very successful” time at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump’s timeline was sprinkled with sporadic mentions of impeachment. “NO PRESSURE,” the president tweeted during opening remarks by Rep. Adam Schiff of California, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and one of the Democrats’ impeachment managers.
