If future first lady Melania Trump is looking for somewhere to begin her campaign to end online bullying , she needn’t look far. Her husband, President-elect Donald Trump , posts an enormous amount of insults on Twitter. According to a New York Times analysis , a whopping 1 in 9 of his tweets is derisive.

Times reporters took one for the team, studying 14,000 of Trump’s most recent posts. Some of his favorite targets include Democratic rival Hillary Clinton , his fellow Republican presidential hopefuls and the media.

He often refers to people as “sad” or “biased.”

Some of Trump’s attacks are even more bizarre, aimed at the wife of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) , a Gold Star father  and a former Miss Universe, who he claimed had a sex tape.

Trump also enjoys retweeting fans, including neo-Nazis, an account that posts quotes from dictator Benito Mussolini  attributed to the president-elect and a 16-year-old boy.
