Leavitt also appeared in a clip on the White House account. The account racked up more than 140,000 followers by Wednesday morning, still catching up to Trump’s more than 10 million Truth Social followers and more than 108 million followers on his less frequently used X account.

The White House launched its official TikTok account despite the looming deadline for the Chinese-owned app to be sold or banned in the U.S.

Last year, most lawmakers deemed the Chinese tech giant ByteDance a national security risk and banned its apps. Now, under a Trump reprieve, it’s shipping new apps anyway.
