Many different sources give varying answers, from 32.4 million to 2.6 million. Some sources give a much smaller number, while others offer more detailed breakdowns. Here are some figures to help you decide:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"324_million\"><\/span>32.4 million<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The question of how many followers does Donald Trump have on Twitter remains a perennial one. The president has 32.4 million followers on the main account and 18.8 million on his Twitter account for the US President. However, these numbers could be misleading. The Breitbart writer cited overlap between accounts when claiming that Trump has 108.8 million followers. His statement isn&#8217;t based on statistics, as many of these accounts could be fake accounts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"26_million\"><\/span>2.6 million<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>During his presidential campaign, Donald Trump used Twitter extensively. In the end, he gained 24 million followers, a remarkable increase in only six months. Now, the president continues to tweet at a healthy pace, posting six or more times a day on at least 10 occasions. In one week, he tweeted 55,515 times. But are all those followers real? A recent study suggests that nearly half of his followers are fake.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_million\"><\/span>1.1 million<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since the election, President Donald Trump has been losing followers on Twitter while Democratic President-elect Hillary Clinton has been gaining them. The data on the two accounts comes from Factbase, which tracks public utterances from both parties. Since 17 November, Trump has lost 133,902 followers, while Clinton has gained 1,156,610 followers. On Sunday, CNN reporter Brian Stelter noted that Trump&#8217;s Twitter followers were not the most important metric in the world. He pointed out that Trump was losing followers for the first time since 2015.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"18_million\"><\/span>1.8 million<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>President Donald Trump has more than 80 million followers on Twitter. In just one month, he has gained almost 1.8 million followers, making him the eighth most popular account. Since his official Twitter account was created in May 2009, he has posted or retweeted more than fifty thousand times. Each tweet garnered thousands of comments. The following table shows the growth of Trump&#8217;s Twitter account. But what does that mean?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_million\"><\/span>1.2 million<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It seems that Twitter has a hard time keeping up with the Trump Administration&#8217;s burgeoning social media presence. After all, the President has over 1.2 million followers on Twitter. But is it really that easy? It turns out that there is some controversy behind that. As Twitter tries to protect its president from being banned for tweeting hateful information, it&#8217;s trying to shut down a popular account. This account, Libs of TikTok, has 1.2 million followers, but it&#8217;s been suspended three times. Its last suspension was for tweeting about obscene drag queen events for young children.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"19_million\"><\/span>1.9 million<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many Americans have lost patience with the President&#8217;s Twitter account and have called for his personal account to be deleted. Since Trump&#8217;s Jan. 20 inauguration, the number of favorites on his tweets has doubled. Thirty-three percent of those favorite tweets were from this year. Similarly, the number of retweets showed a similar pattern. But despite the skepticism among American citizens, Twitter&#8217;s board of directors unanimously approved the sale. Despite the growing backlash against Trump, the transaction is expected to close by 2022, subject to regulatory approvals and stockholder approval.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_million\"><\/span>1.4 million<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The recent spike in Twitter followers of US President Donald Trump has left many people wondering whether he has used a bot to grow his following. Twitter&#8217;s official statistics show that the president has around 84 million followers, but a recent report indicates that his actual follower count is probably closer to 1.4 million. But there are several possible explanations for the spike, including a bot. Screenwriter John Niven pointed out the unusual spike over the weekend.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_million\"><\/span>1.6 million<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first time anyone has looked at the numbers of Donald Trump&#8217;s followers on Twitter, they were shocking. Almost six million of them have followed the president-elect&#8217;s account in just one month. That kind of growth is unprecedented in the history of Twitter. It is estimated that Trump has sent more than five thousand tweets in one day. That makes him the most active politician on social media. In one day, he had over 1.6 million followers, far more than any other presidential candidate.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fBbJ94fJDQc\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"374\" height=\"209\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Many Followers Did Trump Have on Twitter?
