President Donald Trump claimed to be ’No. 1’ on TikTok, saying he had surpassed Taylor Swift on the platform.
Citing a news segment about the social media app’s purported dangers during a White House press conference on Monday (6 July), Trump said he had learned that he is “No. 1 on it.”
“It was announced about two days ago, the new numbers just came out, you know who the number one person in Tic Tac is by far? Trump, me. I'm No. 1,” he said as he misnamed the social media app.
Trump then claimed that “Taylor Swift was No 11. I’m No. 1 in TikTok by far.”
The US president has around 16.6 million followers on TikTok while Swift has approximately 33.5 million.
