A lot of people follow Trump just to see what absurd thing he says next. I would be part of that faction because I like to see the train wreck, but I refuse to be part of something he brags about, meaning the number of Twitter followers.

You really should add in a change from last week section, just so we can see how it's moving.
Here, I made it for you (if you have more specific numbers, those would be better [even if you don't have them now, future posts could]):

Great idea, I'll do those for all the recent ones, and post non-rounding numbers in the future.

August 13th (around 8:30 PM EST)

Twitter (followers)

Trump - 10,889,858 (+189,858)
Clinton - 8,300,242 (+100,242)
Johnson - 293,398 (+7,398)
Stein - 208,649 (+2,649)

Facebook (likes)

Trump - 10,290,735 (+90,735)
Clinton - 5,521,744 (+121,744)
Johnson - 1,099,527 (+44,527)
Stein - 509,864 (+15,864)

Instagram (followers)

Trump - 2,284,788 (-15,212)
Clinton - 1,911,662 (+11,662)
Johnson - 57,666 (+2,666)
Stein - 16,982 (+982)

Since this is going to be the first time posting exact numbers, the increase/decrease is not necessarily going to be accurate. Obviously Trump didn't lose Instagram followers.

First week of real numbers and accurate increases, also doing percentage increases along with it. Wish I did this from the start honestly. Go Gary! Almost has as many Facebook likes now as he did votes in 2012.

I realized I forgot to do last week's. I'll do another update later today and then do it again next weekend (in another ~10 days).
