Mr Obama broke the previous record breaker Ariana Grande after the bombing at her concert in Manchester.
The tweet was Obama’s first tweet in weeks, and came in the context of deadly white supremacist violence in the town of Charlottesville, Virginia.
Heather Heyer, 32, was killed when a man drove a car into a crowd of anti-hate protesters on Saturday.
Police later arrested white supremacist James Fields Jr and charged him with second-degree murder, as well as other charges.
