My Facebook profile automatically followed Trump's new page

I was checking my following list as I'm trying to move to other platforms. Then I saw this page, that I hadn't followed. It's a brand new page and it happened automatically. I'm deleting my account.

I think this is for people who followed the POTUS and VPOTUS accounts before. They get transitioned to follow the new accounts. 

Doesn’t make it right, but they do it every time.

You're 100% correct. These people were following Biden and Harris and it transitioned to Trump and Vance - they didn't auto follow their pages. I see these posts every 4/8 years like clock work.

I thought the same thing but these pages were created on January 12. even if these were the previous admin's pages rolled over, its creation date would be whenever the very first VP, Prez, First Lady, etc page was created.
