Donald Trump has decided to grant TikTok a 48-hour reprieve from his planned ban, ensuring Americans can live-stream his inauguration on the popular app, sources have confirmed.
The former president, known for his contentious relationship with the Chinese-owned platform, made the unexpected turnaround as part of what he calls “the biggest social media comeback ever.”
“Everyone’s going to want to see this, believe me, and where better than TikTok, where all the best challenges happen?” Trump stated, referring to viral dances and now, potentially, to his return to power. The decision was made after aides informed him of TikTok’s massive user base and its potential to outpace traditional media coverage.
Trump’s strategic use of the platform has sparked a flurry of activity, with supporters and detractors alike rushing to TikTok to create content either celebrating or mocking the event. “It’s going to be yuge,” Trump added, “the most viewed inauguration in the history of inaugurations, possibly in the history of recorded events.”
As of press time, TikTok influencers were reportedly being briefed on proper flag-waving techniques and patriotic TikTok transitions, ensuring the platform’s algorithm favors the ‘Trump Comeback’ content.
If it stays make it chink proof!
