Donald Trump is breaking Facebook.

The GOP nominee shattered his previous records for generating conversation on the social media platform over the past three weeks, USA Today reported.

There were more than 307 million likes, comments, shares and posts about Trump; the prior week saw 253 million Facebook interactions, and the week before that, he generated 220 million, USA Today reported.

Hillary Clinton hit her all-time high last week with 206 million interactions on Facebook, the first time she broke over 200 million interactions, USA Today reported.

According to the outlet, interactions about Trump generated by 38.3 million unique Facebook users last week; Clinton generated by 29.5 million users.

"If you do the math . . . the average Trump commenter is posting/linking/sharing/commenting about him eight times a week, while the average Hillary commenter is interacting just over seven times," the newspaper reported.

Since January, no other candidate but Trump has ever registered more than seven interactions per user per week, according to USA Today, which cited data from Facebook.
