Trump Is "Most Followed" Current World Leader On Twitter, Still Way Behind Obama

I'm sure Donald Trump will revel in the fact that his Twitter account has been deemed the most followed of any current world leader.

Politico has the details:

The @realDonaldTrump personal account crossed 39.7 million followers to overtake the nine different language accounts that the pope uses, making the president the most-followed world leader, according to measurements kept by public relations firm Burson-Marsteller.

Pope Francis, with 39.5 million followers at the time that Burson-Marsteller crunched the numbers, fell to second behind Trump when adding up the papal accounts that send the same messages in Spanish, English, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Franch, Latin, German and Arabic.

Next on the world stage for Twitter followers was India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with 34.9 million followers for his official @narendramodi account, plus an additional 21.3 million followers who track the @PMOIndia prime minister's office account.

Trump also commanded the fifth- and sixth-largest audiences among world leaders on Twitter — with 20.5 million and 15.6 million followers — on the @potus and @WhiteHouse accounts he inherited in January.

Altogether, Trump's three accounts total 75.8 million followers - which is still way behind that of his predecessor, Barack Obama.

Obama's @BarackObama Twitter account boasts over 95 million followers.
