Trump sent out 1,795 tweets in the months of January and February and not a single one of them ...

was to warn Americans about the pandemic even after he was briefed on how widespread and deadly it was predicted to be.

When he did finally begin tweeting about the COVID-19 pandemic he used it to manufacture drama and chaos at airports causing our international airports to flood unscreened infected passengers into our nation's cities resulting death trolls three times higher than the next closest nation.

30 tweets a day.

A President shouldn't waste a minute composing tweets, let alone hours, and even less every day.

OTOH, maybe the less time he spends actually paying attention, the less of the government he wrecks.

I'm a retired, and for the last few months, a shut-in. I don't have the time. Seriously.

There's plenty to keep me busy.

Maybe if Donald read the daily PDBs, read the newspapers, talk and listen to the advisors, and do presidential stuff he might find he has less time to waste, lie and act like an ignorant fool.

You'd think keeping tabs on his corruption alone would keep him busy.

he spends significant time every day doing this.

I also believe he has staff composing many, but not all, of them. Or they provide the content, and he puts it into "Trumpspeak".
