As soon as Donald Trump is no longer US President, that could mean the end of his Twitter career.

The company could block his account.

  • Donald Trump * has lost numerous followers on Twitter since the election.

  • The designated US President Joe Biden *, however, is gaining more and more supporters.

  • However, neither can hold a candle to the front runner among the Twitter giants.

Washington

- For years they seemed to be unable to separate:

US President Donald Trump

and the

micro-blogging service Twitter

.

But even before the election in early November there was a crisis between the most powerful man in the world and his preferred mouthpiece.

The IT group repeatedly marked

tweets from the president

with warning notices.

But that didn't

stop

Trump

from making further crude claims.

That could soon change, however, when

Joe Biden is

sworn in as the 46th President of the United States

on January 20, 2021

.

Twitter vs.

Trump: Account could be permanently deleted

Donald Trump

*

still has

the addition "POTUS" (President of the United States) under his

Twitter account

.

However, that will change when

Joe Biden

takes office.

Then the name goes to him.

Trump's

wife Melania

and Vice President

Mike Pence also

lose their additions.

A change that hardly anyone is likely to notice, but which has far-reaching consequences.

Because as long as

Trump is

still in office, his

account

also enjoys

special rights.

From one day to the next, however, that would end.

Just saw the vote tabulations.

There is NO WAY Biden got 80,000,000 votes !!!

This was a 100% RIGGED ELECTION.

- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 26, 2020

With his additional title,

Trump

could

lose

his entire

account

, writes the

South China Morning Post

, citing the US newspaper

Newsweek

.

Twitter

wants to take more rigorous action against users who repeatedly violate the company's guidelines.

Many profiles could therefore be permanently deleted - including

Trumps

.

His repeated spreading of falsehoods could put him at the top of the US company's hit list.

According to the

Washington Post

,

Trump

utters an average of 50 lies or misleading statements every day.

Twitter vs.

Trump: The US president is running away from the followers

Whether the constant lying is also the reason why

the followers turn their backs on

Donald Trump

?

What is certain is that since the election was lost a few weeks ago, his number of followers on

Twitter

has continued to shrink.

Since Sunday (November 22) alone, 46,000 users have stolen from the US President *.

Trump

will probably be able to cope with it.

There are still 89 million people who

read

his

tweets

.

But since

Twitter is

now increasingly taking action against

bot accounts

- i.e. profiles that were created by computers - the number could shrink even further.

Compared to

Donald Trump

,

Joe Biden

still has a relatively small fan base on

Twitter

.

Only 19 million people follow him.

After all, he has won 130,000 new followers since Wednesday (November 25).

The absolute king of the blogging service, however, is Biden's former boss.

Ex-President Barack Obama is

followed by a whopping 126 million users.

He even depends on pop greats like

Justin Bieber

and

Katy Perry

, who also have over 100 million followers.

Just recently, Trump made another faux pas on Twitter *.

He fell for the allegations of a fake account.

Trump also uses Twitter to pardon former staff members.

Late insight in the White House?

Trump holds out the prospect of a handover *.

But he still insists on election fraud.

And clashes with a journalist.
