The tweet, sent from @BarackObama, quoted Nelson Mandela’s 1994 autobiography: “No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin or his background or his religion.” It was also the second-most retweeted tweet of the year, Vox reported on 6 December. The most retweeted tweet was about chicken nuggets from the food chain Wendy’s.

Trump, however, was the most-talked-about politician but none of his tweets made the lists of most liked messages. Obama sent the first tweet from the official @POTUS account, which now belongs to Trump, in May 2015. Trump’s most retweeted tweet ever is a fake video of him beating up CNN, a GIF that originated on the Reddit community. Obama has 97.6 million followers on Twitter while Trump has 44.1 million. The most shared TwitterMoments included NASA’s discovery of seven Earth-like new planets and Beyonce announcing her pregnancy.
