President Donald Trump’s use of Truth Social to share his thoughts has exploded in the last month with many posts coming in the early morning hours, an analysis has found.

In fact, the president posted on Truth Social 565 times in April, according to the Daily Beast. That amounts to about 18 posts a day from the commander-in-chief, with a third happening overnight. The total is also more than double the 250 times he posted in April 2018 during his first term in the White House.

Trump’s posts over the last month have stirred up controversy, including one of an AI image depicting him as Jesus, another photoshop of him threatening Iran and posts criticizing the 2020 election. They come as Trump has been pictured with his eyes closed at meetings and press events.

It’s unclear if Trump has made all the posts on social media, or if some have come from Natalie Harp, who is an executive assistant to the president, but also known to help with his social media accounts.

3. I know why they don't include it, but any discussion of the timing of his posts without

reference to his widely reported history of substance abuse and his obvious neurodegenerative condition and cognitive decline is incomplete. Context, context, context.

4. Go to bed A**hole like us normies...do president stuff during the day...

Also, stay off the GD internet and do your damn job...just sayin...

6. It's pretty frightening

One of the most powerful people in the world is a sundowning political poster.

7. Doesn't he have staffers who write many of his "crazy" social media posts?

I'm sure he does, because he's not that prolific. Why they post so many at night I cannot fathom, unless maybe Chump runs a "graveyard shift" of bored writers who only work at night?

10. Yeah, Sure

Like the POTUS & a billionaire can't assign someone to program the phone to send out a post at an assigned time.
The "middle of the night" stuff is part of the flim flam to make it look like he has do much energy he doesn't need to sleep.
