  • It's no secret that President Trump loves Twitter, right?

  • It's the only love affair he's had

  • that didn't end in a hush money payment.

  • In fact, Trump loves Twitter so much

  • he actually based his hairstyle on the Twitter bird.

  • Yeah.

  • A lot of people don't know that.

  • In fact, Twitter's so important to him

  • that, even during his state visit to the UK,

  • he made time to tweet

  • about the important things happening back home.

  • REPORTER: Overnight, the president indulged

  • in a memorable, long--

  • some might say inevitable-- social media tirade.

  • Half a dozen pent-up attacks on--

  • and we're quoting here-- "Sleepy Joe Biden,"

  • "Crying Chuck Schumer,"

  • and this one,

  • "washed-up psycho Bette Midler," the actress.

  • Okay.

  • I know this isn't the point,

  • but "washed-up psycho"

  • makes it sound like she used to be successful at being a psycho

  • and now her psycho agent won't return her calls.

  • Just-- Grammar.

  • And, look, I-I know we've all gotten used to this

  • from Donald Trump, but I just want to take a moment

  • to remind people that it's not normal

  • for the president of the United States

  • to be attacking individual Americans.

  • Abraham Lincoln wasn't running around like,

  • "Four score and seven years ago,

  • "Bob was a douchebag.

  • "And he'll still be one

  • "in another four score and seven years.

  • Kill yourself, Bob!"

  • But I guess this is why Trump loves Twitter, right?

  • He gets to be as outrageous and o-- unfiltered as he wants,

  • and-and people take notice.

  • Although, lately,

  • they seem to be taking a little less notice.

  • According to new reporting from Axios,

  • President Trump's tweets

  • just aren't packing the same punch anymore.

  • With interaction falling dramatically in recent months

  • despite a significant uptick in use.

  • NEWSMAN: The interactions with his tweets--

  • in other words, the number of times someone

  • retweets a tweet or likes a tweet, has been dropping.

  • So his tweets are having a bit less impact.

  • That's right. Donald Trump's engagement on Twitter is down.

  • And I think I know why he's struggling.

  • He's tweeted so much crazy stuff that we've built up a tolerance.

  • Yeah. Two years ago,

  • Trump could call Kim Jong-un "Little Rocket Man"

  • and we'd start preparing for World War III.

  • Now he could tweet that the U.S. is actually invading Canada,

  • and we'd be like, "Wow.

  • "Can't believe he spelled 'Canada' correctly.

  • (laughter)

  • He's really maturing."

  • But here's my theory: maybe Trump's been working so hard

  • on making America great again that he hasn't had time

  • to make his Twitter great again.

  • And here at The Daily Show, we can't allow that.

  • Which is why we want to help him remember

  • how amazing his Twitter can be.

  • So, uh, if I could address the president directly for a second.

  • I'll be back.

  • Hi, Donald.

  • We don't talk anymore.

  • How are the kids? Disappointments?

  • Anyway, I, uh, I wanted to extend an invitation

  • to help you get your Twitter groove back.

  • The Daily Show is bringing The Daily Show Presents

  • The Donald J. Trump Presidential Twitter Library

  • to Washington, D.C., where everyone can visit

  • and relive all of your greatest works.

  • It's an interactive experience where visitors can bask

  • in your collected wisdom, commemorate your deleted tweets

  • and get a selfie with covfefe.

  • They could even sit on your golden throne to simulate

  • the true presidential tweeting experience.

  • The library will be free and open to the public

  • next weekend, June 14 through 16,

  • and the best part is

  • it's right around the corner from the White House.

  • So, Mr. President, why not take a break from your empty schedule

  • and stop by.

It's no secret that President Trump loves Twitter, right?
