2,753 minutes.

That's how long President Trump went without tweeting, defying expectations that he wouldn't be able to resist commenting while ex-FBI director James Comey testified before lawmakers on Thursday. And it's the longest he's gone without tweeting since he took office.

From early Wednesday until early Friday, the president's Twitter feed was unusually silent.

Wednesday's tweet, at 8:17 a.m. ET:

Getting ready to leave for Cincinnati, in the GREAT STATE of OHIO, to meet with ObamaCare victims and talk Healthcare & also Infrastructure! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 7, 2017

Friday's tweet, at 6:10 a.m. ET:

Despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication...and WOW, Comey is a leaker! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 9, 2017

What kept him away? The president spent Thursday speaking to the Faith and Freedom Coalition and talking infrastructure in meetings with state and local officials.

His last (and only other) long break from the social media platform during his presidency was in April, over Easter weekend, when he didn't tweet for 2,312 minutes, skipping over an entire Saturday.

Besides that, there are only two other days during his presidency when he hasn't written something himself: March 12, when he retweeted the Trump supporter-run America First Policies group, and April 7, when he retweeted daughter Ivanka.
