Donald Trump is using a picture of people celebrating Barack Obama's inauguration as his Twitter picture. The official @POTUS Twitter account was handed over to President Trump's team at the same time as his inauguration. And the newly owned account is decorated with a huge picture of people celebrating and waving US flags. But the image is of Obama's first election in 2009.
The picture is available for £485 on Getty Images, The Independent has found. "The inauguration of President Barack Obama, January 20th 2009," a caption reads. "Unrecognizable crowds in the Washington DC Mall".
The picture appears to have been changed with the handover from Barack Obama. Obama used a picture of himself on a walk in Selma as his header picture.
President Trump will continue to use his personal Twitter account, while his team are expected to send tweets from the @POTUS one. President Obama's tweets under the same handle have now been moved to a new account, under the username @POTUS44.
