>>Anytime you google "trumps latest twitter rant" you'll find that his latest twitter rant episodes are just hours old.

I did google that loaded description ;-) and reviewed latest tweets.

There's a Thank You tour underway, apparently.

8 hours ago he tweeted 'If the press would cover me accurately & honorably, I would have far less reason to "tweet." Sadly, I don't know if that will ever happen!'

Is that a rant? My understanding of ranting is that it's at length - which ought to be impossible on Twitter. Still, I agree 100% he doesn't need to keep saying this.

10 hours ago he tweets about Carson's nomination.

That's it today.

Yesterday I see a rhetorical question about China's devaluation, along with a long series that meets the definition of a rant by spanning so many tweets, re consequences to US business that moves productive capacity offshore. He ends "Please be forewarned before making a very expensive mistake! THE UNITED STATES IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS" ... Seems to me this is one of his stated policies he's putting on twitter- maybe fearing that the MSM will distort the message?

Yesterday he also has another swipe at his favorite TV show. Again, reacting titillates enemies and rewards the antagonist. Ignore them.

I don't see any ranting against political opponents, apart from the Media Party. In fact, the only definite "rant" is against companies who plan to fire staff and offshore production, for whom he will have special taxes (also known as trade barriers that can be expected in the other direction as well...)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
