What has Donald Trump tweeted about most in his first 100 days?
Even though Donald Trump is now president of a global superpower, he still has plenty of time to throw a tweet or two out there.
In light of this, and as his first 100 days in office draw to an end, Twitter Data took a look at the US President’s time in office thus far.
Here’s what the social network’s data miners found.
#MAGA, #USA and all the patriotism

Among Trump’s most commonly tweeted hashtags, #MAGA (Make America Great Again), #AmericaFirst and #USA featured prominently since January.
#ICYMI is third on the list, but #Obamacare — an Obama administration policy that Trump was most vehemently against — featured fifth.

‘Great’, ‘Big’ and ‘Fake News’
As far as most commonly used words and phrases go, “Great” is unsurprisingly the most overused. “Fake news” features sixth, while “big” features as the ninth most used term.

Donald Trump’s followers grow as tweeting habits slow
Digging a little deeper though, Donald Trump’s once voracious tweeting habits have actually slowed significantly. According to SocialBlade, the US President tweeted over 500 times in November 2016. In January 2017, that number dropped to 134.
That’s a drop from around 17 tweets per day to just 4.3 tweets per day.
His follower count has grown significantly within his first 100 days though.
Since his inauguration, Donald Trump has gained around 7.8-million followers, taking is total to 28.4-million. That number still pales in comparison to Twitter’s king and queen — Justin Bieber and Katy Perry — with 93.3-million and 97.3-million followers respectively.
