President-elect Joe Biden’s team wants what President Donald Trump has, but Twitter won’t let them grab it.
Twitter ruffled Team Biden’s feathers Thursday by announcing that it would not automatically transfer the followers of the current @POTUS account to Biden when he takes over the account Wednesday after being sworn into office.
In a blog post, Twitter said that “institutional accounts” like @POTUS, @FLOTUS, @WhiteHouse and @VP “will not automatically retain the followers from the prior administration.”
The current institutional accounts’ usernames, Twitter said, “will be updated to reflect their archived status. For example, the Trump administration’s @POTUS account will be publicly archived as @POTUS45.”
The incoming Biden administration will inherit the institutional accounts’ old usernames, but not their followers.
Absolutely, profoundly insufficient.https://t.co/417reFEEYW

-FB is transferring @JoeBiden's followers over to POTUS
-Snap is handing us @WhiteHouse
-YT is giving us all of the @WhiteHouse Subs
-Twitter is starting us at zero...but recommended the President of the United States tag other accounts to encourage growth

Sleepy Joe thinks he can get Twitter followers on the sly. He is nowhere near Trump and never will be. Biden is a real loser.
Who the hell cares about following Bidens Twitter account. He doesn't write it anyway. It's just incoherent mumbo jumbo. Trump spoke to the people with Twitter. All Biden needs is CNN.
