Now that Joe Biden has been sworn-in as president, Twitter has reset the official @POTUS account and given control of it to the new administration. 

As of this writing, @POTUS (President of the United States) only follows 13 people. Among the people being followed: Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, First Lady Jill Biden, several Biden aides, and celebrity Chrissy Teigen.  

“OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!!” Teigen tweeted upon learning on Jan. 20 that the new president follows her. She followed that up with another tweet that said, “my heart oh my god lmao I can finally see the president’s tweets and they probably won’t be unhinged.”

Teigen said in 2017 that she had been blocked from seeing tweets from the @POTUS account under President Trump

Teigen, perhaps recognizing that President Biden could now be reading her thoughts, also tweeted, “I should prob never tweet again.” 

But then she did. Just one day later Teigen retweeted a tweet from comedic actor Seth Rogen calling Texas Sen. Ted Cruz a “fucking clown.” Teigen said that, “I just want potus to see this lol.”

Kinda makes you wonder if Teigen was paying attention at the inauguration, where her husband, singer John Legend, performed. The theme of the inauguration was “America United.”  Calling a sitting senator a “fucking clown” is hardly unifying behavior.

Teigen then observed that it would be, “A miracle if my potus follow lasts the full four years.”

President Trump used his Twitter account to directly speak to the American public, unfiltered by the media. It was a powerful tool that gave Trump unprecedented ability to communicate with his followers. His personal @RealDonaldTrump account had more than 88 million followers before he was banned from using the service by Twitter. 

Biden does not seem to be using his account the same way. On Sunday, the @POTUS account tweeted that Biden’s favorite flavor of ice cream is chocolate chip.

  1. If Biden was so great the first of his 33 executive orders would have been economic re leaf for the American people instead of satisfying his vindictive needs by undoing everything good Trump did for the American people. His term will be an instant replay of when Obama was in office when gas was $5.00 dollars a gallon and everyone was losing their homes because there were no jobs. The Dems said they would make good on Trumps request for $2000 dollars stimulus for the American people but that is fading away with every day that passes. The Dems made a lot of financial promises that would benefit Americans just to get votes and now that they have control it will all fade away. History will repeat it’s self and people will suffer like they did before. It’s wealthy people like you Seth Rogen and all the crooked people in politics that will survive. Seth Rogen, you should take your blinders off and look around. You might be successful in Hollywood but you wouldn’t last a day on a job where you had to commute 220 miles a day round trip and had to swing a hammer for 12 Hrs. a day. you’re week and an idiot and should just take your lumps and just ShuTheFukUp… Keep on fighting for the people Ted Cruz and know that it is appreciated…
