I wonder how annoyed Trump was when they told him his @POTUS would be starting out at zero followers rather than getting Obama's 14 million for free

Twitter transfer of power: Trump gets @POTUS - Jan. 20, 2017Originally posted by NickFitz View PostI wonder how annoyed Trump was when they told him his @POTUS would be starting out at zero followers rather than getting Obama's 14 million for free
Immediately after Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, he gained another prestigious title: @POTUS.
The Obama administration handed over the Twitter handles for official accounts like @POTUS, @FLOTUS, @VP, @WhiteHouse and @PressSec to the incoming Trump administration on Friday in the first Twitter transfer of power in U.S. history.
The Twitter handles officially switched over at 12:01 p.m., right after Trump was sworn in as president.
The accounts for Trump's team start fresh. All of the tweets from the previous administration were removed and archived on a set of newly created accounts, including @POTUS44, @VP44 and @FLOTUS44.
But perhaps most importantly, Trump's administration will inherit the millions of followers for each account. The @WhiteHouse and @POTUS accounts each have more than 13 million followers.
The transfer of those followers was not immediate, however. The @POTUS account started with zero followers and was back up to about four million after an hour.
Those who chose to follow these accounts for Obama will automatically be following Trump and his administration -- at least until they opt out.Comment
