Trump Joins TikTok, Calls It an 'Honor' Despite Past Ban Efforts

TL;DR Summary
Despite previously attempting to ban TikTok on national security grounds, Donald Trump has joined the platform and quickly amassed over 3.6 million followers. This move comes as President Biden also uses TikTok for his re-election campaign and has signed a law requiring TikTok's Chinese owner to divest the app within nine months. Trump's presence on TikTok is seen as a way to reach young voters and potentially preserve the app amid ongoing security concerns.
