The App Trump Tried to Kill Is Now His New Weapon
He once called it a national security threat. Now, Donald Trump is on TikTok with a shocking message for young voters. You have to see what he’s demanding.
Trump reappears on TikTok weeks after sealing deal to keep the app in the U.S.
President Donald Trump is officially back on TikTok — the app he once threatened to ban — posting his first video from the Oval Office on Monday and declaring to America’s youth: “You owe me big.”
Trump’s return comes just weeks after he signed an executive order safeguarding TikTok’s continued operation in the U.S., ending months of tension surrounding its Chinese ownership.
“I saved TikTok — and you owe me”
Sitting behind the Resolute Desk, Trump addressed his 2024 campaign’s most powerful voter base — young TikTok users.
“To all of those young people of TikTok: I saved TikTok, so you owe me big,” Trump said in the short video.
“And now, you’re looking at me in the Oval Office — and someday, one of you will be sitting right here, doing a great job.”
The clip has already amassed over 766,000 likes and 36,000 comments, with users flooding the comments section with reactions ranging from irony to enthusiasm.
TikTok’s U.S. spinoff deal
Under the agreement announced last month, TikTok will be spun off into a U.S.-based entity, complying with a 2024 law requiring its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to divest or face a nationwide ban.
A group of American investors, including Oracle and Silver Lake, will hold a majority stake, while ByteDance retains less than 20% equity.
The deal was reportedly solidified after a phone call between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, with both leaders signaling support to stabilize trade and technology ties amid broader U.S.–China negotiations.
TikTok diplomacy: a new chapter
Trump’s return to the platform he once sought to block underscores a dramatic shift in his digital strategy — and a clear acknowledgment of TikTok’s influence among Gen Z voters.
The move also positions TikTok as an unlikely political bridge between Washington and Beijing, following last week’s tentative “TikTok truce” over algorithm licensing.
Meanwhile, Vice President J.D. Vance also posted his first TikTok since November, announcing that his page would now feature “updates from the White House.”
