President Donald Trump likes to tweet - 920 times since his January inauguration, to be exact.

Trump's tweets provide a unique insight into the mindset of a president. As he recently put it, "My use of social media is not Presidential - it's MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL."

Business Insider analyzed Trump's tweets that have been posted since he took office, from January 20 to July 7 2017, and pulled out the major themes. The Trump Twitter Archive aims to create as complete a database as possible of all of the tweets posted on the @realDonaldTrump Twitter account. Since January 27, 2017, the database has maintained a real-time collection of them, meaning even tweets that were later deleted (such as the "covfefe") are included in the database.

While these themes don't provide a comprehensive list of all the President's tweets, they give a good sense of some of the biggest topics in Trump's timeline. For example, Trump's favorite time of day to tweet is between 7:00 and 8:00 AM eastern, and his favorite topic is the media.

From the "FAKE NEWS", to the ongoing investigations of Russian interference in the election, to the GOP's attempts to overhaul the US healthcare system, here's what's been on the president's mind in the last five and a half months.
