Trump Joins TikTok, an App He Once Tried to Ban
Onetime president and newly convicted felon Donald Trump joined TikTok on Saturday, despite once trying to ban the app in the U.S. via executive order.
Trump launched his account on the video-sharing platform late Saturday night with a single video, apparently filmed at the UFC event in New Jersey he attended that day. In the first frame of the 13-second video, UFC President Dana White appears alongside Trump, who wears his familiar blue suit, red tie, and mussed-looking blond coif. White introduces Trump to the platform.
“The president is now on TikTok,” White declares.
