Ivanka Trump, the eldest daughter of former President Donald Trump, has made a surprising entrance onto the popular social media platform TikTok. Despite her father’s vocal criticism of TikTok as a national security threat, Ivanka has created a verified account on the platform.
As reported by Fortune, Ivanka’s TikTok account is still in its early stages, with just over 300 followers and no activity yet. This move comes at a time when President Joe Biden’s campaign has been actively engaging with TikTok in an effort to connect with younger voters.
It is worth noting that Biden’s administration has also expressed concerns about TikTok’s security risks, given that the platform is owned by ByteDance, a Chinese company. During his presidency, Donald Trump attempted to ban TikTok in the U.S. due to national security concerns, but the ban never came into effect due to legal challenges.
Despite the ongoing scrutiny of TikTok, Ivanka’s decision to join the platform marks a significant departure from her father’s stance. She is the first member of the Trump family to have a presence on TikTok, highlighting a contrast with the current Trump presidential campaign’s absence on the platform.
It will be interesting to see how Ivanka utilizes TikTok to connect with a new audience and share her perspective on various issues. As the political landscape continues to evolve, Ivanka’s foray into TikTok adds a new dimension to the Trump family’s digital presence.
