Former President Donald Trump joined the popular video-sharing app TikTok on Saturday after he arrived at UFC 302, accompanied by UFC CEO Dana White.
“The President is now on TikTok,” White said at the start of the video, featuring Trump walking out to Kid Rock’s “American Bad A**.”
“It’s my honor,” Trump responded.
“That was a good walk on, right?” Trump remarks at the end of the montage-style video.
Watch
in just days, the former president’s TikTok account has already garnered over 4.4 million followers, with his first video gathering over 70 million views and over 4 million likes.
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden’s account remains at just 350,000 followers.
It’s unsurprising since Biden’s TikTok page shows a series of dull videos centered around attacking Trump.
Trump’s decision to join TikTok is a far cry from when he signed an executive order in 2020 seeking to ban the app over national security concerns.
However, Trump’s recent change of heart could have been a strategy to boost his campaign.
In March, he told CNBC, “Frankly, there are many people on TikTok that love it. There are a lot of young kids on TikTok who will go crazy without it.”
Trump’s first-ever TikTok video showed a lot of enthusiasm.
“THE GOAT [Greatest Of All Time] HAS ARRIVED,” one user wrote.
“Never followed someone so fast,” another wrote.
