“I love you !!! It’s not you, it’s me !!!!”
All right, guys – it’s time for the Chrissy Teigen story.

Just before President Joe Biden took office – like, the morning of – Teigen made a humble request to the incoming POTUS: Can I get a Twitter follower?
Hello @joebiden, I was blocked by the president for four years, can I get a follow up, please

Hey, and lo and behold, she ensured follow-up – but recently, Teigen admitted that something about having the most powerful political figure in the United States following you on Twitter can be, well, a little limiting.

This morning, Teigen extended a public appeal to the @POTUS account to stop following “For me to flourish like me”: “I love you !!! It’s not you, it’s me !!!!”
I’ve tweeted a handful of times since my beloved @POTUS followers. In order for me to flourish as I do, I must ask you, please, sir, stop following me. I love you!!! It’s not you, it’s Me!!!!

Once again, the president – or, more precisely, whoever is managing his Twitter account – nodded. And Teigen immediately let out a cry of joy laden with profanity.

Of course, Teigen – one of the real celebrities on Twitter – knew that that day would come eventually. (She probably didn’t expect to be the one to ask him to stop following, however.)

Anyway: congratulations, Chrissy. Feel free to tweet like there’s just [checks follower count] 13.7 million people – who are not @POTUS – watching.
