Daily Report

This week, Donald Trump has stated repeatedly that he is "#1 on TikTok", which implies that he is the most followed person on the app. Trump stated that the numbers had come in, and he was #1, he also said that he was more popular than Taylor swift, who came in at #11. This is untrue, by follower count, Taylor swift has double the amount as Donald Trump. However Taylor swift is not even close to the most followed person on the app. The most popular person on the platform has over 10x the amount of followers than Donald Trump. This article does a good job at unpacking the false claims, but the fact that Trump is just stating this when it is completely untrue, and easy to prove false, is an issue.
