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

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.

Looks like Trump is already getting used to 280 characters.
