The above chart shows at least two things:

1. ‘executive time’ looks a lot like ‘Twitter time;’

2. The president gets distracted even during his time with his aides.

The second point has to do with safety: how safe it is for the US president to tweet on a wireless network while dining with the Vice President or with his staff? Even if we assume that the White House ICT is state of the art, Donald J. Trump tweets from his own iPhone. How secure is it such a habit?

The first point clearly deals with the job of running the most powerful nation in the world. If we look at the data of Axios, ‘executive time’ is what Donald Trump mostly does. The job of a political chief executive is to process a demanding amount of information and make decisions. When does Donald Trump do this if he tweets all the time?

The chart we are discussing could be misleading: the US president also sleeps and given the limits of my hardware I couldn’t track his nighttime and rest time at large. In the period considered by Axios, the tweets on executive time are circa 500. Is that too much for a chief executive?

Probably yes and not in my opinion, but in those of his followers. Digging deeper into the data we find that tweets on executive time are not the most popular activity on Twitter on the President’s side. In fact, although it gives US journalists plenty of talking points, random tweeting is not particularly effective: his supporters are galvanized by the political activities of Donald Trump, not other stuff.
