32. He just makes more noise than past presidents.

It's not that the media is paying closer attention to him, it's the firehose of threats, vanity tweets, and general nonsense that emanates from this White House every day.

Presidents past would call reporters to a press-con with news while this one uses social media to blast out anything that pops into his head... for better or worse.
