In the three weeks since he won the election, President-elect Donald Trump has managed to send out 73 tweets, including one deleted tweet, according to CNBC analysis. Not a huuuuge number but keep in mind that his tweets tend to get retweeted.  Take, for example, his tweet about alleged illegal immigrant voters – that one has been retweeted 53,000 times and liked more than 156,000 times.

• 20 Tweets on … the recount / baseless voting fraud allegations / election result
• 13 Tweets on … transition-related
• 11 Tweets on … New York Times
• 6 Tweets on …. CNN
• 4 Tweets on …. The musical, ‘Hamilton’  (one tweet was deleted)

Earlier, Trump had said he would try to curb his tweeting. In his 11/12 interview with the CBS program "60 Minutes,", Trump said he would be "very restrained, if I use it at all" with his use of Twitter when he was president. He said Twitter, along with other social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, helped him win races where his opponents were spending much more money.

Trump's unpredictable tweeting since has caused at least one former White House official to dub him "Dr. Trump and Mr. Tweet."
