Donald Trump joined TikTok with a UFC appearance video. He tried to ban the app as POTUS

Former President and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump joined TikTok, posting a debut video Saturday from a UFC fight.

"The President, is now on TikTok," UFC president Dana White said standing next to Trump.

"It's my honor," Trump responded, before the video sliced together shots of him and the crowd at the match in Newark, New Jerse.

Although Pew research shows an increasing number of young people get their news from the short form video app, TikTok is a politically complicated topic. Trump unsuccessfully tried to ban TikTok though executive action in 2020. President Joe Biden signed a law in April forcing the Chinese parent company ByteDance to spinoff the app; the law is being challenged in court.
