President Donald Trump tweeted 2,843 times in 2018, willingly engaging in a messaging war with his critics, the “haters,” the “losers” and the “fake news” on social media.
Here are some of his biggest moments on Twitter in 2018.

“Very stable genius”
January featured several media reports questioning the president’s mental state. Trump fired back.
“No chaos”

But the president said that it was only a sign of “great energy.”
