Former President Donald Trump has joined TikTok, the social media platform he once tried to ban during his presidency. Trump's first post on the app was made from UFC 302, where he was accompanied by UFC President Dana White. Within less than 24 hours, Trump amassed over 3 million followers, significantly surpassing the Biden campaign's 337,000 followers. His first post received 24 million views and 1.3 million likes. Trump described joining TikTok as 'an honor.' The rapid follower growth highlights TikTok's potential as a platform for political engagement, especially among younger voters. The move comes as TikTok faces ongoing scrutiny in Washington over its ties to China.
