In the Oval Office on Monday, President Donald Trump delivered remarks about TikTok, responding to concerns over its Chinese ownership and potential espionage by noting his own high standing on the app. Trump claimed he ranks first on TikTok by a wide margin, ahead of Taylor Swift, who he said was eleventh. The president’s comments come amid reports that TikTok’s algorithm favored Republican content in 2024 and that a wave of AI-generated fake accounts promoting Trump appeared after he took office. Trump and Swift have a longstanding public feud; she urged voters against him in 2020 and endorsed Kamala Harris in 2024, to which Trump responded with a hostile post. Over the weekend, the White House displayed a sign reading “Trump is your president” near a venue where Swift’s wedding drew attention.
