WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Joe Biden 's 2024 campaign launched an account on Donald Trump 's Truth Social on Monday, attempting to poke online fun at the Republican candidate he may well face again in next fall's election.

Under the handle @BidenHQ, the campaign posted: "Well. Let's see how this goes. Converts welcome!" It began its time on Truth Social by following just one account: Trump's.

The former president has built a commanding early lead in the Republican primary, setting up a potential 2020 rematch, despite Trump being indicted in four separate cases and facing 91 criminal charges.

Biden's campaign noted its move on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, writing, "We just joined Truth Social, mostly because we thought it would be very funny."

It added, "Follow us there for truths and retruths or whatever they call them." A senior campaign aide said their joining might make Truth Social a little fun.

Dark Brandon strikes again!

And it looks like you can view his posts on Untruth Social without joining at https://truthsocial.com/@BidenHQ. That's the same alias he has on Twitter, fyi.

Not sure why, but the link I pasted directly from his announcement of the new account that he posted on Twitter doesn't work, but the direct link from Twitter does. So here's his post on Twitter:
