    That’s standard for the potus account. The name changes to who is current and that’s the channel used for presidential statements*. A president still has their own account, not named as president, and is used for personal statements.

      Ah I see, understandable. Still it’s presented like he’s the universal/everyone’s president.

        I don’t know why you are getting downvoted. He is definitely not my president, I am not from that country!

          Because it’s his title. Regardless of where you live.

          We still say King Charles or President Macron.
