Former Republican President Trump opened a short video app TikTok account on the 1st and released his first video. Former President Trump's campaign team said that after Trump was found guilty in the "hush money" case, they raised $52.8 million in 24 hours, breaking the Republican Party's online fundraising record.
The U.S. political news website POLITICO reported on June 2 that Trump opened an officially certified account on the TikTok platform and released his first short video on Saturday night (1st), showing him appearing at the Ultimate Fighting Championship in Newark, New Jersey, interacting with supporters.
After searching for "realDonaldTrump" on the TikTok app, you can indeed see the above content, and the account profile is "The 45th President of the United States." Currently, the number of followers of the account is about 245,000, and the number of views of this short video has exceeded 1.1 million, and the number of likes has exceeded 250,000.
In the video, Trump stood with UFC President Dana White, who told the camera: "The president is now on TikTok!" Trump then said: "I'm honored."
TikTok has more than 100 million users in the United States. US media reports and analysis said that Trump's move to join TikTok is to reach potential voters, especially young voters, before the November election.
“The campaign is working across the board,” said an anonymous adviser to the Trump campaign. “Being able to conduct outreach on multiple platforms and channels is very important. This is just one of many ways we can reach voters.”
On May 30, local time, a jury in a U.S. court ruled that all 34 felony charges of falsifying business records in the "hush money" case were established against Trump, making him the first former president of the United States to be found guilty in a criminal case. At present, Trump has stated that he will appeal.
