Donald Trump Is Losing Thousands of Twitter Followers After Election Defeat


Donald Trump has lost Twitter followers every day this week, with more than 46,000 accounts abandoning his profile since November 22.

His days in the White House are numbered in the wake of his defeat to Joe Biden, but Trump has continued to spread misinformation about the election on Twitter, leading to speculation he could be swiftly banned from the platform after he leaves office.

Now it seems at least some of his 88 million-plus Twitter followers may have had enough, with his follower count having dropped for four consecutive days.

Almost 10,000 Twitter accounts have unfollowed today so far, according to social media analytics platform Social Blade. On November 24, his count dropped by 12,476. On November 23, it fell by 5,979 and, on November 22, it tumbled by 19,164.

But I can see why people are unfollowing now. A lot probably followed just cause he was the President and, ya know, kinda nuts, so it seemed wise to keep it tabs. Now? He’s irrelevant. People will still update us on his antics, but no need to follow him.

and there's no point following an account that can't post anything.

Actually ... it's way past time, but I keep hoping they'll finally do it.

Don't give Chump the opportunity to mess up and shit all over everything Joe Biden is trying to do. If Chump really has to flap his gums, let him buy an ad in the NYT or something. No more free media coverage please!
