President Donald Trump officially took over the @POTUS Twitter account on Friday:
The new Twitter background made me wonder: Whose inauguration is this from? The answer:
Yeah, it’s from President Obama’s inauguration in 2009.

Update, 1:20 p.m.: The team at Full Frontal With Samantha Bee has provided Trump a more accurate background:
Update, 1:55 p.m.: For the record, the background wasn’t a vestige of Obama’s account—here is a screengrab of how Obama’s @POTUS Twitter page looked just Thursday evening:
Regardless, someone on Trump’s social media team must have seen that they’d been caught, because they’ve changed the background for the second time today.
At least they seem to have chosen the right flag?

The smooth transition continues!
