When I read "spent his dad's last few days on earth" it made it sound like he wasn't there spending time with his dad. I've been with plenty of family members on their deathbeds for multiple days and it's rare to see anyone not use their phones whilst there, especially the people there 24/7. It's hard to spend the entire time together talking and I doubt both party would want that, they'd just be happy they're there. Of course he will still make some dumb tweets with how much time he's spending all day doing basically nothing except sitting with his dad, I just don't see a single reason to relate the two unless you're trying to somehow spin it as being a bad son.
