44

44 is another way to refer to President Barack Obama, who is the 44th President of the United States. It is commonly used on social media, mainly Twitter, where characters are limited.

The use of the number to refer to the president gained prominence during Obama's presidential tenure (2009-2017). Not only was that the period in which social media, especially Twitter, grew exponentially, Obama was also very active socially.

While 44 is typically used for saving space or time, it is also used as a substitute name by people who are tired of saying or typing Obama. People also use 45 to refer to President Donald Trump, who is the 45th President of the U.S., and 46 to refer to President Joe Biden, who is the 46th President of the U.S.
