They're almost video-style tweets?
Here's the one on nuclear weapons, which is 40 seconds long, shot in high resolution (over 300 mb, which is atypical for a Trump video), and ends with "thank you for your attention to this matter."

Instead of leap day every four years we should have a leap hour every other month. Instead of a weird little day everyone just gets to sleep in a bit.
occasionally UTC inserts leap seconds to keep time in sync with the earth's rotation, which is not quite exactly 24 hours. computers HATE this one weird trick
As one of the two times per year that our time infrastructure becomes visible, a reminder that there is no single, stable time in existence. Universal Coordinate Time is, as the name implies, the result of coordinating a weighted average between various labs measuring Cesium-133 resonance.
