Former President Trump has joined TikTok, the embattled Chinese-owned social media platform that he once tried to ban during his years in the White House.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee's first post on TikTok was a launch video on Saturday night on a verified account – @realDonaldTrump – showing him waving to fans at an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fight in Newark, New Jersey, that he attended a couple of hours earlier.

"The president is now on TikTok," UFC CEO and Trump friend Dana White said as he introduced the former president in the video.

"It’s my honor," Trump responded in the video. The song "American Bad A--" by Kid Rock can be heard in the background.

The move appears to be an effort to connect with younger voters who frequent the app, as Trump faces off with President Biden in the 2024 election rematch. The main super PAC supporting Trump, MAGA Inc., joined TikTok a couple of weeks ago. The site has roughly 170 million users in the U.S.

Trump is desperate. He loses the election then its game over. Well personally I believe that the game is over but until the fat lady has sung then he has hope.

Yet how can trump understand hope as it is a foreign concept to the man with the silver spoon stuck in his mouth.

He had total control of his orbit. Until he ran for president and when faced with defeat he showed his true colors. The lack of control currently is driving him crazy. He stands on the abyss and looking down.

Until the elections results are know he has hope.

Yet does Trump know what hope is?
