Twitter has recently begun a mass purge of what they consider fake and bot accounts.

Obama lost 2.3 million fake followers, just over 2% of his total.

In contrast, Trump has lost 300k, only 0.7% of his total.

Hillary lost 200k, about 0.9% of her total.

I agree; it's beyond silly. I was mostly making fun of your half-hearted attempted at saying 'Drumpf'.

Whitefish is beautiful, by the way.

Whitefish is a great place to live but is getting too touristy and expensive. I’m hoping to move to Columbia Falls in the next couple months.

President for 8 years vs. President for 1.5 years.

Assuming Trump serves 2 terms, he will leave Obama in the dust.

Heck, he could pass him by the end of his first term is his growth rate continues as is.

Obama was the President since 2008, around Twitter’s inception. It makes complete logical sense that he has more fake followers that aren’t active. Trump didn’t have Twitter followers into the 8 figures until he decided to run. Dumb point.

The raw numbers aren't what's telling.

He has over THREE TIMES the RATE of fake followers.

That's why I included the rates.

I’d rather jerk off with a fistful of thumbtacks than caught following Obama on Twitter.

Still a dumb point all around. None of it matters because even after ruling out inactive and fake users because passage of time isn't a factor in your stats nor is tge fact that Obama STILL has more real users.
