Hello, Twitter! It's Barack. Really! Six years in, they're finally giving me my own account.

Welcome to @Twitter, @POTUS! One question: Does that username stay with the office? #askingforafriend

— Bill Clinton (@billclinton) May 18, 2015

Good question, @billclinton. The handle comes with the house. Know anyone interested in @FLOTUS?

So now everyone on Twitter can barrack Obama.

Let’s all follow @POTUS and then say he’s outraged Twitter etiquette but not say how, and unfollow him.

just followed and then muted @potus in what scientists are calling the most bizarrely ineffective passive aggressive protest of all time

.@POTUS Did you know the guy who plays Immortan Joe in FURY ROAD also played The Toecutter in MAD MAX? It's the same guy!

So wait, @BarackObama wasn't Obama? Can't believe he'd use some kind of drone to do his dirty work.

Barack has his own Twitter, does he? At last, the final betrayal. pic.twitter.com/sL81NcqWxs

After 6 years, Barack Obama has finally been trained to use Twitter. That means we should expect Joe Biden some time around 2024.
