Barack Obama appears to make a jab at Donald Trump with Twitter followers boast

Barack Obama appears to have thrown some shade at his successors’ Twitter followers.

During a forum at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit in New Delhi, India, on Friday, Obama subtly poked fun at President Trump for having fewer Twitter followers than him.

While boasting about having “100 million Twitter followers," Obama went on to say: “I actually have more than other people who use it more often."

And his remark prompted laughter from the audience, who reportedly interpreted it as a dig towards Trump, according to HuffPost.

It is worth noting that Obama does have 97.4 million followers and Trump has 43.8 million.

Obama added: “I think it’s important to be mindful about both the power of these tools and also its limits and to understand it can used for both good or for ill.”
