It’s official. As of about an hour ago Donald Trump is the 45th President of The United States of America.
One question regarding the transition was how the social media handoff would occur between outgoing former President Obama and President Trump.
And now about an hour in, some of these accounts are starting to switch over.
The most important one is probably @POTUS on Twitter , which now redirects to a new page for President Trump. While it only says he has about 4M followers now, this number will eventually creep back up to the almost 14M followers that former President Obama had on @POTUS, as soon as Twitter completes the migration.
Notably President Trump hasn’t tweeted anything from the @POTUS account yet, but has tweeted about 10 times in the last hour from his personal @realDonaldTrump handle.
