Trump's Pranksters, Presidential Bid, and Political Drama

Three TikTok users went viral for their prank trolling of Truth Social, the social media platform launched by former President Donald Trump, with the goal of getting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis trending on Trump’s own platform. Their efforts paid off as #Desantis2024 shot its way up to the top spot, having accrued more than 1,500 mentions overnight. This isn’t the first time Gen Z has trolled Trump through a viral online campaign. As sign-ups flooded Truth Social this week, some online claimed they could no longer join because the app had paused the acceptance process for new accounts.
