Trump Is at His Most Relatable Complaining About Losing Twitter Followers
President Trump met with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey today, and according to the Washington Post, the leader of the free world spent a significant amount of time complaining to Dorsey about his perception that Twitter has intentionally lowered his follower count.
From the Post:
A significant portion of the meeting focused on Trump’s concerns that Twitter quietly, and deliberately, has limited or removed some of his followers, according to a person with direct knowledge of the conversation who requested anonymity because it was private. Trump said he had heard from fellow conservatives who had lost followers for unclear reasons as well.
But Twitter long has explained that follower figures fluctuate as the company takes action to remove fraudulent spam accounts. In the meeting, Dorsey stressed that point, noting even he had lost followers as part of Twitter’s work to enforce its policies, according to the source, who described the meeting as cordial.
Imagine the president of the United States, sitting in the Oval Office, staring at his follower count and getting redder and redder, steam drifting out of his ears, as the number on the page goes from 59.9 million to 59.8 million. Beautiful.
This is truly high level Trump brain: assuming you’ve lost followers due a plot nefarious liberals (or whatever Dorsey’s Castaway-looking fascist sympathizing ass is) rather than the platform attempting to cut down on the extremely high percentage of users who are bots.
