President Donald Trump took over the @POTUS Twitter account almost immediately after he was sworn into office Friday. The tweets of former President Obama — who is now at @POTUS44 — have been wiped clean, and Trump is starting with a new follower count too.

First Lady Melania Trump also took over the @FLOTUS account from former First Lady Michelle Obama. The White House’s official account switched over as well.
