Hold onto your phones! Donald Trump, the former U.S. president and current Republican candidate, has stormed TikTok – the same app he once tried to ban – gaining 3 million followers in just 24 hours. Talk about a plot twist!
From Ban to Boom
Trump’s first TikTok post, a 13-second clip of him greeting UFC fans in New Jersey, has racked up 56 million views since Saturday. The video’s caption? A cheeky nod to his comeback: \"This is what a sold-out crowd looks like!\"
Gen Z Gambit
With Biden trailing at 340K TikTok followers, Trump’s viral leap could be a game-changer for reaching younger voters. His team claims he’ll now \"use every tool\" to connect with Americans – even if that means cozying up to an app he labeled a security risk in 2020.
TikTok’s Political Tightrope
Both candidates are now dancing on the same app facing a potential U.S. ban. Biden recently signed a bill giving TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, nine months to sell or face removal. But with 170 million American users, the platform’s election-year influence is undeniable.
Meanwhile, Trump’s social media empire – including Truth Social and X (formerly Twitter) – continues to grow. Will #TrumpTikTok content outshine his raging Truth posts? Stay tuned.
