Although ex-president Donald Trump initially supported banning TikTok in 2020, he has since come out in favor of the social media app during his 2024 presidential campaign. He eventually joined TikTok back in June of this year and has been consistently posting on the platform.
In a video uploaded to Truth Social on September 04, 2024, the former President uploaded a video to his profile which again found the presidential candidate citing his support for TikTok.
"For all of those who want to save TikTok in America, vote for Trump. The other side's closing it up. But I'm now a big star on TikTok. We're setting records. If you like TikTok, go out and vote for Trump", Donald Trump stated.
Trending
With Trump actively posting TikToks of his presidential campaign on the app, the former president has garnered over 11 million followers. The 2024 presidential candidate's most recent post has gone viral over the soundtrack used in the video, where several popular influencers and celebrities call for his presidency.
The track featured on Trump's TikTok video appears to be a fairly new song from underground artist, Nettspend, stylistically titled Nothing Like Uuu. The electro-funk hip-hop record was released to popular streaming platforms like SoundCloud and Spotify, in April, generating millions of streams across DSPs (Digital Streaming Platforms).
Netizens have taken to social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts and opinions over Donald Trump using Nettspend's Nothing Like Uuu in a "Presidential Campaign" TikTok.
Several users highlighted their shock at hearing Donald Trump use Nettspend's viral track in his TikTok, with netizens humorously citing that this act was enough to secure their votes for the Republican presidential candidate.
"The fact that its real..." - A surprised netizen stated.
"Yeah my vote is in" - A fan stated.
"my president" - Said another.
"Donald Trump GOT MY VOTE" - Claimed a Republican supporter.
One user even stated how the Democratic Party and Kamala Harris should use some of Nettspend's popular tracks like shine n peace in their social media campaigns to garner more votes.
"Give kamalahq rights to use shine n peace immediately" - A user stated.
"How's kamala gonna compete now..... Gotta start using Osamason sounds" - Another chimed in.
