    I like how his name is “President Joe Biden” as if not to be confused with the other Joe Biden. Also this insinuates that he is the president of Threads, or the Fediverse, or even the world maybe?

      That’s standard for the potus account. The name changes to who is current and that’s the channel used for presidential statements*. A president still has their own account, not named as president, and is used for personal statements.

        Ah I see, understandable. Still it’s presented like he’s the universal/everyone’s president.

          I don’t know why you are getting downvoted. He is definitely not my president, I am not from that country!

            Because it’s his title. Regardless of where you live.

            We still say King Charles or President Macron.

            King Charles III isn’t my king either. Still a king though. And doing a much better job than King Charles I

      “Look me over, if you like what you see, help out. If not, vote for the other Biden”

      He’s definitely making sure everyone knows it’s him and not the other Biden

      Some other countries have the decency to add something like “of the USA” to the name. But this being the USA, of course he is just “the” president.
