Trump returns to TikTok: Young people 'owe me big'
Share and Follow


President Trump is back on TikTok, just weeks after he signed an executive order to keep the popular video sharing app in the U.S. after months of uncertainty.

The president posted a video on the platform Monday for the first time since election day. Trump often used TikTok during his 2024 presidential campaign.

“To all of those young people of TikTok: I saved TikTok, so you owe me big,” Trump said in the post from behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. “And now, you’re looking at me in the Oval Office and someday, one of you are [going to] be sitting right at this desk, and you’re [going to] be doing a great job.”

As of 11 a.m. EDT, the post had more than 830,000 thousand likes and nearly 40,000 comments.

Under the deal, announced last month, TikTok will be spun off into a separate U.S. entity to comply with a 2024 law requiring the app’s Chinese parent company ByteDance to divest or face a ban. A group of American investors, including Oracle and Silver Lake, will purchase a majority stake in the new entity. 

ByteDance will maintain less than 20 percent in equity.

After a phone call, Trump also suggested Chinese President Xi Jinping was in favor of the deal.

A law signed by former President Biden in 2024 gave the company a Jan. 19 deadline to divest, but Trump extended it multiple times after returning to office.

On Monday, Vice President Vance also posted on TikTok for the first time since November. The vice president said his page would be used for updates from the White House.
