Donald Trump made his TikTok slip up in the Oval Office Monday during a Trump savings account event. Standing in front of 9 children, he went off on a tangent about the social media platform. His exact words, now, there's a thing called TikTok, have you heard of it, I was watching a show this morning, Maria Bartiromo, she's fantastic, and on her show, they were talking about the dangers of TikTok, and it's Chinese, you know, a whole thing with spying and what they're doing with it. Then he pivoted to himself. His words, new data came out, I'm number 1 on TikTak by far, like Taylor Swift was number 11. He said TikTak, not TikTok. On camera. Twice.
