President Donald Trump rang in Day 30 of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, as well as the two-year anniversary of his tenure in the Oval Office, with a mammoth litany of 40 tweets.

The president’s Sunday on his favored social media platform began as most do — with some boasting about the state of the American economy and lamentations over its perceived lack of coverage by the news media. Throughout the dizzying day, he covered a variety of topics with his tweets and retweets, even landing in the world of sports late in the evening.


“Always heard that as President, ‘it’s all about the economy!’ Well, we have one of the best economies in the history of our Country,” Trump wrote online at 7:40 a.m. “Big GDP, lowest unemployment, companies coming back to the U.S. in BIG numbers, great new trade deals happening, & more. But LITTLE media mention!”

Nineteen minutes later appeared a warning from the commander in chief concerning wintry conditions, along with some morning fodder for doubters of climate change. The day’s weather included snow in the Midwest and icy conditions across the Northeast.

“Be careful and try staying in your house,” tweeted the president, who remained in the White House Sunday. “Large parts of the Country are suffering from tremendous amounts of snow and near record setting cold. Amazing how big this system is. Wouldn’t be bad to have a little of that good old fashioned Global Warming right now!”

Next up came the main focus of the day: the reaction on Capitol Hill to Trump’s Saturday address from the White House, during which he had laid out a potential compromise plan to end the government shutdown.

The president pitched a bill to provide certain border security measures and temporary protection for some undocumented immigrants in exchange for $5.7 billion in border wall funding. Democratic leaders in Congress said the proposal would be dead on arrival, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dubbing Trump’s overture a nonstarter.

“Nancy Pelosi and some of the Democrats turned down my offer yesterday before I even got up to speak,” Trump tweeted Sunday, in what would be the first of four posts targeting the California Democrat.

The president went on to reject negative characterizations of his proposal by immigration hard-liners in the media, including conservative commentator Ann Coulter, who tweeted Saturday: “Trump proposes amnesty. We voted for Trump and got Jeb!”

“No, Amnesty is not a part of my offer,” Trump wrote , claiming, “Amnesty will be used only on a much bigger deal.”

No, Amnesty is not a part of my offer. It is a 3 year extension of DACA. Amnesty will be used only on a much bigger deal, whether on immigration or something else. Likewise there will be no big push to remove the 11,000,000 plus people who are here illegally-but be careful Nancy! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2019

He added: “Likewise there will be no big push to remove the 11,000,000 plus people who are here illegally-but be careful Nancy!”

The president kept blasting the House speaker online, scolding Pelosi at 8:35 a.m. for behaving “so irrationally” during negotiations to reopen the government and accusing her of giving in to demands from more liberal lawmakers in her caucus.

“She is so petrified of the 'lefties' in her party that she has lost control,” Trump tweeted . “And by the way, clean up the streets in San Francisco, they are disgusting!”

Trump also told Pelosi via tweet that he was “still thinking about the State of the Union speech,” teasing that “there are so many options” to deliver the address she has requested he postpone until government is reopened.

At 9:03 a.m., the president claimed that his “poll numbers with Hispanics” had increased to 50 percent and tweeted at 9:20 a.m. that despite the shutdown, the government was still “building and renovating big sections” of his proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

“Building, after all, is what I do best, even when money is not readily available!” he said.

The next post to appear on the president’s timeline was a message of thanks to the father of right-wing conspiracy theorist Jacob Wohl, followed by a jab at the media for “not giving us credit for the tremendous progress we have made with North Korea.” The White House announced Friday that Trump will hold a second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in late February.

Trump at 1:16 p.m. posted a high-sheen, roughly one-and-a-half minute video preproduced by the White House and meant to commemorate his two years in office, before launching into a series of retweets of prominent conservatives praising the president’s Saturday address on border security.

In total, Trump reposted 14 messages of support from GOP lawmakers, Vice President Mike Pence and conservative radio personality Mark Levin.

At 7:48 p.m., the president thanked James Woods for a congratulatory tweet, and two minutes later retweeted a message from his wife, Melania Trump, writing: “A truly great First Lady who doesn’t get the credit she deserves!”

At 8:25 p.m., the president tweeted a message to federal workers still furloughed as a result of the shutdown.

“To all of the great people who are working so hard for your Country and not getting paid I say, THANK YOU - YOU ARE GREAT PATRIOTS!” Trump wrote online . “We must now work together, after decades of abuse, to finally fix the Humanitarian, Criminal & Drug Crisis at our Border. WE WILL WIN BIG!”

After a break of more than two hours, he kicked back in to salute the NFL’s New England Patriots upon returning to the Super Bowl: “Congratulations to Bob Kraft, Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the entire New England Patriots team on a great game and season. Will be a fantastic Super Bowl!“ After defeating the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, they will face the Los Angeles Rams in two weeks.

He followed that by retweeting a post of his son Donald Jr. and then pitching for the case of former baseball pitching ace Curt Schilling for baseball’s Hall of Fame. The results of that election are due Tuesday.
