Former President Donald Trump has recently made his position on TikTok clear, revealing his stance on the potential ban of the popular social media platform on Thursday. This news comes as a surprise to many, considering Trump's previous statements about banning the app during his presidency.
In March, Trump had flip-flopped on his views, initially supporting a potential ban of the Chinese-owned app in the US, but later opposing it. However, in his recent conversation with Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, Trump made it clear that he is in favor of TikTok and has no intention of banning it.
When asked about his message to young voters, Trump took the opportunity to encourage them to vote for him in the upcoming election. He also criticized his opponent, Joe Biden, calling him the "worst president in history." Trump then went on to mention a recent incident involving Biden in France, but did not elaborate on what exactly happened.
On Saturday, Trump made his debut on TikTok during a UFC fight in New Jersey. Within just six days, he had gained a whopping 5.8 million followers, surpassing Biden's number of followers. This comes just two days after Trump became the first former US president to be convicted of a felony in his hush money trial.
It is worth noting that Biden had previously signed a law giving TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, nine months to sell the company or face a nationwide ban. This decision was made due to concerns over the app's ties to the Chinese government and privacy issues with American user data.
In conclusion, Trump's sudden support for TikTok and his impressive following on the platform within such a short period of time have caused quite a stir. As the election draws nearer, it will be interesting to see how this development plays out in the political landscape.
