Donald Trump stunned Americans by joining the controversial social app TikTok. While president, he sought to regulate the app because a Chinese company owned it. There is a chance that the company will break off from China, pending a recent piece of legislation.
However, it appears Trump is playing hardball to win over as many voters as possible.
TikTok is used by millions of Americans, both young and old. It looks like Trump is hitting the ground running, taking advantage of its broad appeal already. He recently posted a surprising video on the social app. The former president is partnering with one of the biggest stars on social media.
From The Post Millennial:
Former President Donald Trump posted a WWE-style “face-off” video on his official TikTok account, teasing an upcoming interview with YouTube star Logan Paul. The playful video mimicked the dramatic confrontations seen in professional wrestling and other fighting sports, with both Paul and Trump intensely standing face-to-face before laughing and hugging each other.“Face off with Logan Paul drops tomorrow,” the post to Trump’s TikTok account stated.
The interview reportedly took place at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence on Tuesday and will be released on Paul’s popular podcast, “Impaulsive,” on Thursday.
Donald Trump posted a “face-off” video with social media sensation Logan Paul. Paul gained popularity on YouTube and has since made a splash in the world of professional fighting. The two men posed for a typical image used in fight promotions, where two fighters stare at each other.
Quickly, the two men break into laughter and hug. Trump announced a big interview with Logan. The personality recorded the interview at Mar-a-Lago. It will reportedly be posted to Paul’s podcast later this week.
This is a clever move by the Trump campaign. TikTok is mainly used by young Americans, especially those from Generation Z. Trump is reaching out to voters who are usually neglected by Republicans and quickly snatched up by Democrats. But if a celebrity like Logan Paul is talking with Trump, the candidate could reach millions of young voters who are still undecided.
It is unlikely Joe Biden will be able to do much the same, especially when most Zoomers laugh at how frail he has become.
Key Takeaways:
- Trump posted a “face-off” video with himself and Logan Paul.
- The famous social media figure interviewed Trump at his home.
- Trump released the video on TikTok, which he recently joined.
