2016 January 26, Scott Bixby, “Clinton and Sanders face questions over experience at Democratic forum – as it happened”, in The Guardian[2]:
Most of the Republican candidates seem to be ignoring tonight’s Democratic presidential forum, but Kentucky senator Rand Paul - whose libertarian-leaning ideology couldn’t be further from Sanders’ self-proclaimed socialism - is ragetweeting enough for the entire field combined: […]
2017 July 21, Matthew Brown, “God Bless Incompetence”, in The Dartmouth, volume 174, number 96, page 4:
Rather than merely distracting the media by rage-tweeting about Morning Joe, a better Donald Trump would use Fox News to cudgel his opponents in the press rather than rely on it to defend his every misstep.

2018 January 12, Benjamin Hart, “Trump Falsely Claims That Armed Forces Would Stop Functioning in Shutdown”, in New York—Intelligencer[4]:
In a bout of Friday-morning ragetweeting (synchronized with Fox & Friends, of course), President Trump pivoted from quasi-denying his “shithole” remarks on Thursday to accusing Democrats of being willing to kneecap the U.S. armed forces by ushering in a government shutdown — which is not how any of this works.

Welp. Another day, another thing for Twitter to rage-tweet about. This time, it’s all Netflix’s fault. Oh, and also, David Benioff and D. B. Weiss are to blame because people still aren’t over how they ruined the final season of Game of Thrones.

2017 October 14, James Poniewozik, “How Failure Made ‘Halt and Catch Fire’ Great”, in The New York Times[8]:
“Halt” understood that computing was culture. This idea — that technology is self-expression — has been cheapened through decades of faux-utopian advertising, and it rings a little sad today, after we’ve seen that culture yield social-media pile-ons, presidential ragetweets and the Gamergate harassment of female game developers like Cameron.

The answer to that question has less to do with Donald Trump than the constant crush of anguished media attention to every Trumpian rage-tweet, racist slur, authoritarian-accented threat, and expression of seething contempt for our institutions makes it seem.

2018, "The Observer", "The Newseum", Arkansas Times, 26 July 2018, page 11:
Unless, that is, Donald Trump accidentally pushes the Doomsday button instead of the "bring me KFC!" button on his desk while in the grip of his next ALL CAPS RAGETWEET on Twitter.
2018 December 7, Jonathan Chait, “Tillerson, Who Privately Called Trump ‘Moron,’ Pretty Much Confirms It in Public”, in New York—Intelligencer[11]:

2019 September 6, James Poniewozik, “The Real Donald Trump Is a Character on TV”, in The New York Times[13]:
It was a classic Trumpian ragetweet: aggrieved over a minor slight, possibly prompted by a Fox News segment, unverifiable — he has a long history of questionable tales involving someone calling him “Sir” — and nostalgic for his primetime-TV heyday.
2019, James Poniewozik, Audience of One: Donald Trump, Television, and the Fracturing of America, unnumbered page:
After the failure of a Republican healthcare plan, his ragetweets careered from “REPEAL failing ObamaCare now” to “As I have always said, let ObamaCare fail” to advocating “full repeal” again.
