President Obama’s tweet thanking Americans, posted following his farewell address on Tuesday night, is now the most retweeted post ever from the @POTUS account, Twitter announced Wednesday.
“Thank you for everything. My last ask is the same as my first. I’m asking you to believe—not in my ability to create change, but in yours.”
