President Donald Trump took advantage of Twitter's expanded character count on Tuesday -- but the excess words didn't really add much.

He used 216 characters to let everyone know he was about to make a speech in South Korea and then travel to China. Riveting stuff.

But the old 140-character Twitter would've worked just fine to get his pretty boring point across. Here's what his tweet should've looked like:

Getting ready to make a major speech to the National Assembly herein South Korea, then will beheaded to China where I very muchlook forward to meeting with President Xi who is just off his great political victory.

Instead Trump added a politically charged comment about China's president, considering his re-election wasn't the most democratic process. It looks like more spacious tweets leave room for more controversial statements.

Trump really embraced the long tweets. Within an hour of his first 140-plus tweet, Trump sent out another one. This tweet contained 215 characters about the Virginia gubernatorial election.

Looks like Trump is already getting used to 280 characters.
