President Donald Trump has joined the controversial TikTok platform, making his first post from last night’s UFC pay-per-view event alongside the UFC President Dana White.

The post, showing immense support from UFC fans, can be seen here:

In recent months, Congress has sought to ban TikTok due to complaints of Chinese influence, the mind-warping effect of the platform on young people, and the proliferation of anti-Israel propaganda on the platform.

Big League Politics reported on the U.S. House of Representatives voting in bipartisan fashion to ban TikTok earlier this year:

“On March 13, 2024, the United States House passed legislation that would prohibit popular video application TikTok if its China-based owner doesn’t sell the property.

This push for a TikTok ban has largely been spurred by national security concerns, especially with current ownership which is suspected to be connected to the Chinese Communist Party.

The bill was passed by a vote margin of 352-65. It is currently in the Senate, where its fate remains to be seen.

TikTok has over 150 million American users. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of ByteDance Ltd, a Chinese technology company.
