Trump losing Twitter followers - as Biden gains them

Donald Trump has been losing Twitter followers since he lost the presidential election to Joe Biden – while the Democratic president-elect has been adding them.

According to Factbase, a website dedicated to tracking Trump’s public utterances, the president has lost 133,902 followers since 17 November while the president-elect has gained 1,156,610.

In a Sunday tweet, the CNN host and media reporter Brian Stelter said that while Twitter followers were “surely not the most important metric in the world”, it was “still worth noting: for the first time since 2015, Trump is consistently losing followers”.

Joe's magic is in person one-on-one. And speeches to rooms full of people. When he's on the job, he's on the job. When he's off the job, he's at home with his family and pets being a normal human being.

Tweeting while he's taking a dump? That's not in his world.
