America’s first Twitter president has sent out hundreds of tweets since moving into the White House.
President Trump’s tweets often dominated news cycles during his first year in the Oval Office.
Here are his most retweeted tweets since Jan. 20.
15. “Subject to the receipt of further information, I will be allowing, as President, the long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be opened,” Trump tweeted on Oct. 21, pledging to release the files related to former President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.
The tweet gained more than 70,000 retweets.
14. Trump’s tweet on the stunning comeback by the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI in early February had more than 71,000 retweets.
13. A controversial hashtag clocked in as Trump’s 13th most retweeted tweet.
“#StandForOurAnthem,” Trump tweeted Sept. 25 amid his feud with NFL players who kneeled during the national anthem before games in protest of police brutality. Trump has continued to call on players to stand, or urged their firing, for months.
The tweet was retweeted almost 74,000 times.
12. Trump called for an end to political correctness on July 4, days after a terrorist attack in London that left seven dead and almost 50 injured.

10. Coming in at No. 10 is Trump’s tweet on the UCLA basketball players after he helped secure their release from China after they were accused of shoplifting.
Trump lashed out at LaVar Ball, father of UCLA player LiAngelo Ball, for being “unaccepting” of the president’s actions.
His tweet has been shared almost 77,000 times since Nov. 19.
9. In a tweet that had more than 83,000 retweets, Trump mocked himself for his infamous “covfefe” typo.

7. The president’s more toned-down response to the Women’s March, which happened a day after his inauguration, had almost 90,000 retweets.
“Peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy. Even if I don’t always agree, I recognize the rights of people to express their views,” he wrote a day after millions of women across the country protested his presidency.
6. A tweet that included photos of Trump's trip to Saudi Arabia in May had over 96,000 shares.
5. and 4. Trump's tweets on Saudi Arabia apparently have sparked a lot of interest. Next on the list are a pair of threaded tweets from Nov. 6.
"I have great confidence in King Salman and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, they know exactly what they are doing," Trump began, getting 108,000 retweets.
The next tweet, which had 103,000 retweets, continued: "Some of those they are harshly treating have been “milking” their country for years!"
The comments were in response to the Saudi Arabian regime being accused of conducting a purge of political of rivals as Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman looks toward ascension to the throne.
3. The infamous "covfefe" tweet that spawned thousands of jokes and Trump eventually deleted was one of his top retweeted tweets of 2017.
"Despite the constant negative press covfefe," the tweet from May 31 read.
It had 127,000 retweets in the short time it was up.
2. Trump's second most retweeted tweet of 2017 takes aim at North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The two have shared a war of words in recent months as North Korea advances its nuclear weapons capabilities.
The "short and fat" diss has 272,000 retweets.
1. Trump's most retweeted tweet of 2017 is perhaps one of his most controversial.
On June 2, Trump tweeted a gif of himself body-slamming a wrestler with CNN's logo imposed on the wrestler's face. The tweet included #FraudNewsNetwork and #FNN, the latter likely meaning "fake news network."

Winning everywhere...
Man, that was a fun look back at 2017 and some of the President’s greatest hits! Here’s to more tweets and retweets in 2018!! May Donald Trump continue to confound the crap out of the enemedia!
If you do not have Covfefe! GET SUM!
this president is an entertaining genius. He keeps everyone busy while he accomplishes massive change.
Enjoyed that immensely, Oshkalaboomboom. Thanks for all your posting activity this morning. It’s been very enjoyable.
You're quite welcome. My wife is roasting a Duck for our Christmas dinner and this is keeping me out of her way.
I thought it was appropriate to make shepherd’s pie for dinner last night. Today we’re joining friends at a restaurant. LOVE cooking duck. Not husband’s favorite dish though. Sigh. But now that you’ve got me thinking about it, perhaps I could do a whole second main course for him and a fruit stuffed duck for me. Lovely thought. Do enjoy. And the most wonderful day to you and yours.
President Trump’s tweets = laser pointer
Big Leftist Media = cat
He plays this game every day, and the Media always jumps at it, they just can’t resist.
He’s effectively re-branding Big Media to look like a bunch of reactionary, unthinking idiots, and they don’t even realize it.
Yes, this was obviously a typo because Trump certainly did not mean to call CNN frauds, because that would mean that CNN is deliberately distributing falsehoods with the expectation that viewers would rely upon their #fakenews to their detriment, and that viewers did so rely.
No, Trump could not possibly have meant that CNN were frauds and surely just intended to call them fakes, which is a matter of opinion as opposed to an issue of fact.
I mean call someone a fraud and they can sue for defamation, if it is false, which I guess CNN hasn't yet done.
I wonder why.
We're using a recipe from Nigella Lawson that starts off by poking dozens of holes in the skin with a toothpick, cooking the duck in the oven on a rack over hot water so the duck is beautifully steamed as the fat drips away, then removing the water, raising the temperature and cooking it so the skin is crisp while the meat is tender. It comes out great but we don't like the sauce she pairs with it.
And the most wonderful day to you and yours.
I've gone from being threatened with an unceremonious ban for being a troll to wonderful compliments for being a good poster. The highs and lows of FReeping. Have a great day.
