Trump’s eventual summit with Kim Jong-un released tension from what had become an increasingly concerning war of words between two of the world’s most petulant leaders.

North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works! So, with the hope of gleaning some sort of insight into one of the most turbulent and confusing years in modern American history, we’ve anthologized Trump’s most notable tweets of 2018, month by month. The president’s Twitter habit can also be informative, offering a stunning timeline of how he has bobbed and weaved his way around controversy after controversy, with excuses leading to actions, leading to more excuses, leading to more more actions - all in the service of saving his own ass. Special Counsel Robert Mueller has reportedly taken the president’s feed into consideration as he investigates the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, and whether Trump may have obstructed justice. This can be exhausting, infuriating and even incriminating.

Trump’s prolific Twitter presence has afforded Americans a unique look into how he processes current events. Just as Trump has done more “damage to ISIS than all recent presidents,” as he tweeted last week, the president has also spent more time on social media than anyone to occupy the Oval Office.
