Former President Donald Trump is now on TikTok, started his own account on the social media platform late Saturday night.
Trump was at the Ultimate Fighting Championship 302 event alongside its president Dana White. The first TikTok posted by the former president included clips of him at the event, with White introducing him on the platform saying, “the president is now on TikTok.”UFC fans are seen cheering, waving, and taking pictures with Trump, who sat ringside.
This pending ban of TikTok would pressure ByteDance to sell the social media platform in order for it to be hosted by app stores in the U.S.The ban was signed into law by President Joe Biden in April. Biden also has a campaign profile on the platform.In the weeks following Biden signing the law, TikTok filed a lawsuit alleging the ban would violate the platform’s First Amendment rights. That lawsuit was followed by another similar lawsuit filed by TikTok users.
Since Trump started his own social media platform Truth Social, he has remained true to it and only posted once on X since owner Elon Musk lifted the ban against him. Meta has continued to ban Trump from Facebook and Instagram.
