Once President-elect Joe Biden assumes office on Inauguration Day, Twitter could remove President Trump’s special privileges as a high-profile world leader and treat his account as a normal one.

But the exemption does not apply to former world leaders, a spokesman said.

Trump’s personal Twitter account has more than 88 million followers, and his most recent five tweets early Friday evening each received more than 50,000 likes – with the highest racking up nearly 140,000.

Twitter also took action against individual tweets from the president before the election, but stopped short of punishing his account.

An outgoing employee in 2017 also briefly deactivated Trump’s personal account on his or her last day on the job.

Before Trump, it was used by former President Obama

Twitter spokesman Nick Pacilio said the Trump administration’s official handles would undergo a similar archiving process before being handed off to the incoming administration
