The numbers from FactBase show that Trump has lost anywhere between over 800 and over 20,000 followers a day over the past 12 days.
As Trump has gotten crazier with the conspiracy theories, some of his Twitter followers have started to head for the exits. Hundreds of thousands of Twitter users are tired of reading Trumps rants about election fraud conspiracies that do not exist.

(21,563 posts)About a week ago for legit people just following him to see what crazy shit he says to unfollow him. I think that had an effect. Also twitter routinely sweeps for bots/troll accounts that from my memory I gave read make up about 50% of his followers. Russia creates the bots to boost his follower counts. So when twitter locates and eliminates them in batches his count drops quickly.

(300 posts)Trump has become what he most despises...a loser! To the narcissistic personality, being defeated, ignored, and out of control of others is absolutely intolerable. Trump richly deserves his fate of rejection, increasing irrelevancy, and the condemnation of history.

(10,053 posts)He attaches his self-worth to numbers like that the same way he does with tv ratings. His ego can't take being irrelevant.

(9,721 posts)His supporters were tired of the same old, same old stuff.
Now all he is the same old stuff, spouting the same old stuff. BORING.

(2,061 posts)and Biden has gained over 1M. That sounds great, but the link doesn't say what their baseline numbers were. So perhaps this is just a tiny blip for Trump. For example, it'd be less than 1% if he has 15M followers. Does anyone know the number of Twitter followers each actually has?
A change of less than 1% might qualify for a recount.
