Trump calls it an ‘honor’ to join TikTok after previously trying to ban the app

Former President Donald Trump is now on TikTok after previously seeking to ban the popular video-streaming app over national security concerns when he was in office.
Trump posted his first video to the app while attending an Ultimate Fighting Championship match in Newark, New Jersey, on Saturday. In the video, Trump is accompanied by UFC president and longtime ally Dana White.
“The president is now on TikTok,” White said.
“It’s my honor,” Trump replied.
In 2020, Trump sought to clamp down on TikTok through executive action due to fears that the Chinese government could access sensitive American user data on the app, which is owned by the Chinese tech giant ByteDance. Federal courts later blocked that effort.
