President Trump held a loose, combative press conference that touched on his views on Russia, the first weeks of his Administration and his views on the media._ by [Pratheek Rebala](https://time.com/author/pratheek-rebala/) and [Chris Wilson](https://time.com/author/chris-wilson/) Feb 16, 2017 4:44 PM UTC by [Pratheek Rebala](https://time.com/author/pratheek-rebala/) and [Chris Wilson](https://time.com/author/chris-wilson/) Feb 16, 2017 4:44 PM UTC Amid the [turbulence of intelligence leaks](http://time.com/4672974/donald-trump-white-house-chaos) and contentious press briefings, President Trump’s Twitter feed is perhaps the most reliable window into his thoughts. Because all tweets are coded by which device was used to send them, it’s possible to make an educated guess as to which messages from Trump’s account come from him personally. This has allowed a variety of news outlets to analyze such things as the [tone of his personal tweets](https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2016/08/12/two-people-write-trumps-tweets-he-writes-the-angrier-ones/?utm%5Fterm=.f2bcd5053514) and whether he [changes his behavior during the Jewish sabbath](http://www.slate.com/articles/news%5Fand%5Fpolitics/politics/2017/02/a%5Fscientific%5Fexamination%5Fof%5Fwhat%5Ftrump%5Ftweets%5Fduring%5Fshabbat.html). To contribute to this body of research, TIME analyzed 1,200 of Trump’s tweets between the time he became the presumptive nominee up to the present. While the timing of his Twitter habit has only changed gradually, the topics on which he focuses have changed dramatically. Case in point: Before the election, he frequently mentioned “women” in tweets. Since the inauguration, he has not done so once. Here’s a closer look at how Trump’s tweets have changed since he became President. ## Transcript As you know, our administration inherited many problems across government and across the economy. To be honest, I inherited a mess, it's a mess. At home and abroad, a mess. I turned on the TV, opened the newspapers. And I see stories of chaos. Chaos, yet it is the exact opposite this administration is running like a fine- tuned machine. We; re becoming a drug infested nation. Drugs are becoming cheaper that candy bars. We're not gonna let it happen any longer. Are you going to include the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus? Well I would. I tell you what, do you want to set up the meeting? Do you want to set up the meeting Are they friend of yours? No, no, no, I'm just a reporter. No, set up the meeting. Number one, I am the least anti- Semitic person that you've ever seen in your entire life Number two, racism, the least racist person. You mentioned the vessel, the spy vessel, off the coast of the United States. Not good. I was given that information. I don't know. I was just given. I own nothing in Russia. I have no loans in Russia. I don't have any deals in Russia. The whole Russian thing, that's a ruse. It's a ruse. Hillary Clinton did a reset, remember? With the stupid plastic button that made us look like a bunch of jerks. I watch CNN, it's so much anger and hatred and just the hatred. The leaks are absolutely real. The news is fake because so much of the news is fake. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4673380/donald-trump-tweets-president-analysis/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4673380/donald-trump-tweets-president-analysis/"},"headline":"Donald Trump Has Stopped Tweeting 5 Words Since Becoming President","datePublished":"2017-02-16T16:44:14.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-07T07:17:20.865Z","description":"\"Women,\" for one","url":"https://time.com/4673380/donald-trump-tweets-president-analysis/","keywords":["Donald Trump","Social Media","White House","twitter"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8f5ab3ac57d61068/698898218e0601565a466559/donald-trump-phone.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Pratheek Rebala","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/pratheek-rebala/"},{"@type":"Person","name":"Chris Wilson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/chris-wilson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8f5ab3ac57d61068/698898218e0601565a466559/donald-trump-phone.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Donald Trump","caption":"Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump listens to his mobile phone during a lunch stop in North Charleston, S.C. on Feb. 18, 2016.","creditText":"Matt Rourke—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4673380/donald-trump-tweets-president-analysis/","name":"Donald Trump Has Stopped Tweeting 5 Words Since Becoming President"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Watch Trump's Trumpiest Comments From That Press Conference","description":"President Trump held a loose, combative press conference that touched on his views on Russia, the first weeks of his Administration and his views on the media.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/pq1mKHYq/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-02-16T21:50:19.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/pq1mKHYq.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4673380/donald-trump-tweets-president-analysis/","duration":"PT1M40S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4673380/donald-trump-tweets-president-analysis/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
