President Donald Trumps Twitter game may not be as fierce as he likes to think.
On Tuesday, the social media platform revealed the worlds 10 most retweeted and three most liked posts of 2017. Trump, who regularly shows off in front of his 44.1 million followers by launching unprovoked attacks on his opponents, failed to feature on either list.
To add insult to injury, Trumps predecessor in the White House, former President Barack Obama scored high in both roundups. Three of Obamas tweets made the most retweeted list and two appeared in the most liked category.
Obamas plea for racial equality following white nationalist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August was both the most liked tweet of the year, and the second most retweeted.
Obamas Twitter followers more than double the number for Trump as of Monday, the ex-president had 97.6 million.
Some slight consolation for Trump may be that he was crowned the most tweeted about elected world leader this year. But as various stories have noted , hes often mentioned in a negative light.
Other tweets to rack up millions of likes this year included Ariana Grandes response to the terror attack at her May concert in Manchester, England, and NBA star LeBron James zinger at Trump over the presidents rescinding via Twitter the White House invitation to the league champion Golden State Warriors after some of the teams players, including star Stephen Curry, said they wouldnt be attending.
The Twitter champion of the year, however, was Carter Wilkerson the Nevada teen whose lighthearted request for a years supply of chicken nuggets from the Wendys fast-food chain went viral. After being shared an astonishing 3.6 million times, its now the most retweeted post ever:
The Miss Universe 2017 pageant was the most tweeted-about global television event, K-pop group BTS took that honor among celebrities, and Spanish soccer team Real Madrids #halamadrid was the worlds top sports hashtag.
Game of Thrones was the most tweeted-about TV show in the U.S., with Netflix s Stranger Things taking the accolade for streaming shows. Wonder Woman won the award for most tweeted-about movie.
Here are the most retweeted tweets of the year:
