US President Donald Trump's State of the Union address to the Congress became the most tweeted address ever with 4. 5 million tweets, Twitter has announced.
Trump's address on Tuesday night led to a total of 4. 5 million tweets with the hashtags #SOTU and #JointSession, the social networking service said.
"Join me live for the #SOTU, " Trump, who is very active on the social media platform, had tweeted shortly before his address.
The 4. 5 million tweets surpass the previous record of 3 million for Trump's first address to the Congress in February 2017, which wasn't technically a State of the Union address, since he had been in office for only a month.
According to Twitter, the most retweeted message was a tweet with a link to watch the speech live.
