Obama Dunks on Trump’s Social Media Game: ‘I’ve Got 100 Million Twitter Followers’ (Mediaite)

Barack Obama dropped some of his patented “subtle shade” Friday morning when he addressed a leadership forum in India. It was a wide ranging conversation that touched on everything from the lasting effects of climate change to the need for people to let loose once in a while, to surf and dance, as he put it.

Obama also discussed the dangers of technology, which led to some brutal dings against President Donald Trump.

“You know, I have about 100 million Twitter followers, more than some people who use it more often,” he said, not actually naming the president, who has 44 million Twitter followers. “Don’t say the first thing that pops into your head, have a little bit of an edit function, that’s good advice for life.”
