Twitter is Donald Trump’s mouth piece for informing the world about his views.
After eight years in office, his predecessor Barack Obama is one of the most followed people on planet Twitter. He has 60 million more followers than his successor. It will be interesting to see how Trump can expand the number of followers in the coming 4 to maximum 8 years.

This chart shows followers of selected Twitter accounts worldwide as of Jan. 20, 2017 (in millions).
