Some Facebook and Instagram users discovered they were following President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance ’s accounts after their inauguration on Monday, Jan. 20. This is likely because they were following White House accounts before Trump and Vance took their oaths of office.

Official accounts designating leaders or important members of an administration are separate from Trump or Vance’s personal social media accounts. But some users claimed they were unable to unfollow Trump, and blamed Instagram. Meta, which owns Instagram, has said this is normal procedure.

The claim that Vance once said "Mr. Trump is unfit for our nation's highest office" is attributed correctly and comes from an op-ed written by Vance and published in The New York Times on April 4, 2016.
