Donald Trump’s Twitter followers are growing.

And by ‘growing’, we mean he is gaining hundreds of new followers every minute.

But a large percentage of the followers have no picture… or tweets… or followers themselves.

Oh, and pretty much all of the accounts were created in May 2017.


In fact the President of the United States has somehow gained five million followers in the last few days, so it’s no surprise that many people are questioning if he has bought them.

Or if he is attempting to beat Barack Obama’s 89.2 million (only 59 million to go, Trump).

According to Twitter Audit, 14,776,939 of Trump’s followers are fake.

Meaning just over 50% of his followers are real.



Granted, it’s pretty easy to buy followers – so Trump may not have actually bought them himself.

They could also be bots… or real people who all started their account on the same day and decided to follow him.

Hundreds of people, however, are now questioning where the fake followers are coming from on Twitter.

One said: ‘Did Donald Trump actually buy 3 million followers how insecure is he?’

Another said: ‘Unsurprisingly, over half of Donald Trump’s followers are fake. Bought, bots or both?’
