During a White House briefing, President Donald Trump brought up the social media platform TikTok, saying he had heard about its potential risks—such as Chinese spying—from a television segment. He then claimed that recent rankings showed he was the number-one user on the app, placing Taylor Swift at number eleven. Data from TikTok, however, indicates Trump has about 16.7 million followers, while Swift has roughly 33.5 million, and neither is among the platform’s top ten most-followed accounts, which are led by creators like Khaby Lame with over 162 million followers. The president’s remarks mix a warning about TikTok’s influence with an inaccurate boast about his own popularity on the service.
