Donald Trump may still be tweeting fake news, but his audience may be much smaller than before.
Since losing the election, Donald Trump has also been losing followers. According to Factual basis, a website dedicated to tracking Trump’s public statements, Trump has lost more than 1 lakh of followers. Joe Biden has won over 1,000,000.
Since November 18, Trump has been steadily losing thousands of followers in one day.
A CNN report recently found that while Twitter followers “were probably not the most important metric in the world,” “it’s still worth noting: For the first time since 2015, Trump is steadily losing followers.”

Fact base it has “measured small decreases for 11 days in a row,” he mentioned in his tweet. Fact base data, there is a big decrease in the last 12 days (Nov 18 – Nov 30).
Trump at his current peak has 88.8 million followers and continues to tweet unsubstantiated allegations about fraudulent elections, stolen elections and, very recently, how he won the election.
In fact, yesterday he claimed that “there is no way we will lose.”
Despite not citing specific evidence of voter fraud, Trump has continuously tweeted about how Republicans did not lose the polls on November 3.
Twitter has also repeatedly verified his tweets, labeling most of his posts about voter fraud as disputed. But the Republican president doesn’t look like he’s going to budge just yet.
Even the margin of votes is not a ‘close decision’. Joe Biden is the first presidential candidate to win more than 80 million votes, with more ballots still in the counting process at the end of November.
Biden currently has 20.2 million followers at the time of writing this story (December 1), and according to Social bakers, has been winning them steadily over the last week.
