POTUS number 45.
Donald Trump may’ve been sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, but that doesn’t mean you suddenly have to start paying heed to his tweets.
Or does it?
More than half a million Twitter users might’ve worried about that, when they noticed that after Trump’s inauguration, they were suddenly following him on the microblogging service, by way of the president of the United States’ account, @POTUS .
We’re not talking people who’d followed Barack Obama via @POTUS and simply forgotten about the account changing hands. These were folks who’d unfollowed the @POTUS account, as well as people who’d followed the new @POTUS44 account — an archive of Obama administration tweets — but hadn’t signed on to @POTUS.
