Thanks to all who answered the Twitter poll.
Not terribly scientific, but we are 100% NOT following derps.
Some reply to derps and some ignore.
Extrapolating wildly, that would mean that anti-Trump do not follow him, but might reply. So the number people following Trump is likely to be Trump supporters, NOT derps who want to post crap in reply to him.
I’m sure the number of followers is NOT all voters, however. President Trump has fans under 18 and MANY fans overseas. Still, the numbers are EXCELLENT and unless @Jack is messing with the numbers, they’re a pretty good indication of support. And the TREND of his support. (Hint: UP!)
I saw this news this morning and it made me think about all the spoopy yacht derpiness. I wondered if this might be connected. Then I saw these POTUS retweets:

Seems very derp-related to me.
