Now that Twitter is removing millions fake and locked accounts from the social media platform, several celebrities are finding they suddenly have significantly fewer followers than they did yesterday.<br /> <br /> According to The Wrap, President Donald Trump was among those affected, with his Twitter account about 400,000 followers lighter following the purge, resulting in a new total of 53 million.<br /> <br /> Trump’s predecessor was hit even harder, with Barack Obama’s Twitter account losing more than 2.5 million followers to knock the former POTUS down to a mere 101 million followers.<br /> <br /> Also affected was social media maven Kim Kardashian, who watched her numbers fall from 60.2 million followers to 58.5 million when she shed 1.7 million followers.<br /> <br /> Other celebs to lose followers include Elon Musk (-200,000), Rihanna (-900,000) and Justin Bieber, who was no doubt sorry to see his numbers drop by nearly 3 million followers.<br /> To put things in
