Donald Trump appears to have adopted the mentality, “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em,” as he joined the social media platform TikTok, despite his previous calls for its banning due to its ties to the Chinese Community Party and the potential for widespread CCP eavesdropping on American individuals.
While Biden hasn’t created a personal account, his campaign did create one five months ago. Biden has encountered a similar dilemma. But in just one day, the presumed GOP nominee crushed Biden’s follower totals, dealing yet another blow to the confused president’s reelection efforts:
“By the numbers: As of 1:15 ET on Sunday, Trump’s video had received over 38 million views and 2.2 million likes. Since its inception last night, Trump’s account has amassed 2.1 million followers. That is more than six times the number of followers the Biden campaign’s February-launched account had.”
The former president shared on social media the positive feedback he received from his meeting with UFC President Dana White at UFC 30.
“The president is now on TikTok,” says Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White, who is standing by Trump’s side at the start of the video. What they’re saying: According to Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung, “We’ll leave nothing undefended… This represents the more outreach to younger people consuming conservative content.” “There’s no better place than a UFC event to start President Trump’s TikTok… [H]e received a hero’s welcome and thousands of people cheered him on.”
It is hard to believe that Biden has ever had such a warm reception in his life.
But things only grow worse for Biden because on Sunday night, his team attempted to disgrace Trump by bringing up old, unverified claims that the former president had racially disparaged a contestant on his television program, “The Apprentice.” They promptly scheduled Old Joe for the following month.
Must-see:
HAHAHA this is epic. Biden's campaign is desperately trying to win black voters on TikTok… it's backfiring spectacularly.

Sometimes, Karma is a beast. Take a look at the comments; they perfectly capture how a lot of Americans are feeling at the moment. “Eggs are out of my price range,” a user regrets. “Why is my rent so high?” inquires another. “What makes poor kids just as smart as white kids?” is the question that Joe Biden raised. Yes, that is exactly what the chief race-baiter said in 2019.
I don’t claim to be an expert on TikTok; like most people with jobs, families, and other obligations, I don’t have time to watch cat videos and listen to transgender activists scream about how someone misidentified them. The majority of what I see comes from the fantastic TikTok account Libs, whose owner, Chaya Raichik, frequently shares some of the insane stuff that’s permeating our culture.
Even though it should eventually be outlawed or sold to an American corporation, Trump would be prudent to take advantage of every route that can help him remove this catastrophic president from office. However, Biden’s two embarrassing gaffes on social media highlight how weary Americans are of the failed, autocratic, polarizing leader. This appears to me like yet another sign that voters are prepared to remove this president from office, but I’ve learned the hard way that what we believe to be true on social media or in the polls on election day doesn’t often translate into reality.
