As tensions between the US and Iran continued to escalate, US President Donald Trump has been keeping a busy schedule on social media. According to reports, Trump did not sleep last night, instead choosing to share a flurry of posts on Twitter, averaging at least one post per hour from 9 PM to 4 AM.

He also shared a post about Biden and Hunter Biden, only to re-share it two minutes later. Furthermore, Trump shared a post about the White House Balcony and claimed that the Strait of Hormuz was closed to Iranian ships at 4:10 AM.
