Former US president Donald Trump has joined TikTok, embracing a China-based app he once tried to ban in the US, Politico reported.
Trump announced the launch of the account in a video with Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White, the report said.
Bloomberg News has not been able to independently verify the post. A campaign spokeswoman did not immediately return requests for comment outside business hours.
Trump’s TikTok would add another platform to his social media arsenal, part of an effort to reach younger voters. His campaign said he raised $52.8 million (about R987 million) after a Manhattan jury found him guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records last week.
