An image from April 3, 2017, shows President Trump's Twitter feed on a computer screen in Washington. President Trump snapped his fingers and summoned at least the latter of those options to the Oval Office on Tuesday. (Trump’s complaint about losing followers came hours after another Twitter purge removed 5,000 accounts that were spreading anti-Russia-investigation messages.) Just as was the case with inauguration crowds, Obama has more Twitter followers than Trump — nearly twice as many, in fact. But there’s another reason that the Twitter numbers are particularly important to Trump.
