Within hours of joining TikTok, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump had attracted over 1.3 million followers on the short video social media platform that he tried to ban as president on national security grounds.

The decision to join the platform on Saturday could help the former president reach younger voters in his third bid for the White House. He is in a close race with Democratic incumbent Joe Biden ahead of the Nov. 5 presidential election.

Biden's election campaign is already on TikTok, although Biden has signed a bill that would ban the app, which is used by 170 million Americans, if its Chinese owner ByteDance fails to divest it.

Trump posted a launch video on his account, which has the address @realdonaldtrump, on Saturday night. The video showed Trump greeting fans at an Ultimate Fighting Championship fight in Newark, New Jersey.

Russian asset using Chinese Psyop system to brainwashing low IQ and low attention span voters.

1. Dat's Lots o' Bots

Looks like the bot farms are up and running again.

2. Giving up on the Truth Social stock scam?

3. I'm sure "young voters" will watch lots of TikTok videos of this old man ranting nonstop

about how put upon he is. Especially since it is essentially the same content repeated over and over again.

Nothing appeals to a young person's attention span more than old people complaining about the same things 50 times per day.

8. +33...

and invisible accordions.

10. People go to his rallies

4. Heh. "Florida Man Rants at Enthusiastic Bot Army"

Fixed the headline.

5. 1.3 million followers is NOT enough to

win an election... sure hope his demented brain can wrap itself around that fact. We had what... 8.3 million voters for us last election. I'm horrible at math... but this is far less than he had, percentage wise, in 2016 and 2020, isn't it? If this doesn't shoot up exponentially in the next few days, I'd say it's a good marker on how much "popularity" he's lost.

Of course, I know TikTok is not everyone's cup of tea. But with the outcry when talk of banning it began... and said outcry continues to this day... I wouldn't count it as a minor social media forum. I'm not on TikTok, and have only ever been over there when there's a cat video someone's pointed out. So, I may be all wet!

but if it's like Twitter used to be, 1/2 of those are bots. The rest are morons.

16. TicToc has lots of fun videos

Esp like these boys -

Thousands of influencers and handicapped people making a good living on TicToc. Ted Cruz said last week that the reason we need to get rid of TicToc is because its videos are too ProPalestine. He said he was going to discuss this with Biden.

12. TicTok PAID HIM to come on there - we know he does nothing for free

So I guess that means Truth Social is collapsing? That didn't last long.

Also Elon Musk has a sad because his MAGA idiots just moved over to TikTok. He'll be out of business soon.

13. IF TikTok is controlled by China, and China would like to see the US destroyed,

Along w/ Russia.

So…?

[womanofthehills]

17. TicToc has Americans running US TicToc

Suzy Loftus - we are spending 2 billion to keep TicToc safe. “We have a US led team”

14. The same Tik Tok he wanted banned in the US four years ago??

We all know Trump is always for sale..........

[soldierant]

15. Best argument I've heard so far

for banning Tik Tok

[chouchou]

18. This woman is thrilled, like taking out soiled diapers. But wait! There's more!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

19. Can you buy followers on TikTok like you can on Twitter?

I mean X. No I mean Shitter, because that's what Musk turned it into.

20. A lie makes it half way around the world

A lie makes it half way around the world before the truth can get its pants on. People need to quit getting their information from social media platforms and do some legitimate research before choosing a candidate.

Trump can Only win, if Dems dont turn out to Vote. MAGA ends in Nov.
