Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump clearly loves Twitter. In the past 24 hours, he’s tweeted more than 35 times — a mix of insults hurled at Ted Cruz, poll number updates and shout-outs to supporters. Trump seems to favor the old-school way of manually quoting a tweet instead of using Twitter’s more refined “Quote Tweet” feature, sometimes adding his own comments to the end.

— Trump Retweeps (@TrumpRetweeps) January 26, 2016Trump doesn’t exactly have the best track record on who he decides to retweet — and there’s still a bit of mystery as to who exactly has the reins to his account. In once recent instance, he retweeted an apparent neo-Nazi supporter.
#PoliticalCorrectness is killing this country. It has to be stopped. #WhiteGenocide is real. Wake up! #Trump2016
#AltRight ✠
— Trump Retweeps (@TrumpRetweeps) January 24, 2016In case you were wondering, Twitter users can only tweet 2,400 times per day — and retweets are included in that count, according to Twitter’s support team. So that means there’s a daily ceiling in case Trump wants to go off on a truly epic Twitter rant.
