In a perfectly timed plot twist, the White House launched its TikTok account with a "video montage of President Donald Trump," narrating himself: 'Every day I wake up determined to deliver a better life for the people.' This digital debut comes amid looming national security threats, a ban vote, and a near-apocalyptic 'divest-or-ban' deadline for TikTok on September 17. Despite former bans and renewed threats, the Trump administration assures continued communication success 'in a way no other administration has before.' So yes, the app’s US fate hangs by a ByteDance thread, because what’s democracy without a little suspense?
