Ratings - Twiller Ratings.


Duh Donald Trump has under 60 million Twitter followers.



Barack Obama has over 106 million. The discrepancy is precisely the type of thing that would infuriate the current occupant of the White House -- and it does.



“Trump has repeatedly griped to associates about how Obama has had more Twitter followers than he has,” two people close to Trump told the outlet, “even though — by Trump’s own assessment — he is so much better at Twitter than Obama is.”



So frustrated by his lagging Twitter ratings was Duh Donald that he brought it up to Tritter CEO Jack Dorsey during a meeting at the White House on Tuesday.



A “significant portion” of the meeting focused on the president’s belief that Twitter has been intentionally stripping him of followers. Trump spent an “inordinate amount of time complaining about his lost followers.”



Dorsey replied by emphasizing that any decrease in followers is simply the result of the company purging (Russian) bots and fake accounts.



Hours before the meeting, Trump accused Twitter of discriminating against conservatives, alleging the platform is “playing political games” by making it “hard for people to sign on” and “constantly taking people off the list.”
