Som president would he have banned TikTok in the US. But now Donald Trump has made an entrance on the popular video app.
The first post from Trump, who is likely to be the Republican candidate in the presidential election this fall, was a 13-second clip from a martial arts competition he attended in New Jersey on Saturday. He appears with UFC chairman Dana White, who says: "The President is now on TikTok."
In the background, "American Bad Ass" by Kid Rock is playing, according to Politico.
President Joe Biden has signed a law that could lead to TikTok being banned in the US – but his campaign continues to use the app. Hypocrisy, critics say.
To prevent TikTok from being banned in the US, the Chinese owner, ByteDance, must sell its stake within a year. This is due to concerns that data will be collected and used by the Chinese government for propaganda purposes.
Donald Trump has also opposed the law signed by rival Joe Biden. He has said that ByteDance still poses a national security threat, but that a ban on the app would upset young Americans.
