Trump commemorates TikTok ‘wins’ from 2025
President Donald Trump shared TikTok’s “2025 Year in Review” data from the social media platform TikTok on Monday, despite only posting once on his personal account all year.
Trump’s only TikTok post in 2025 came in October, even as he signed four executive orders extending the ban on the platform. In the post, Trump claimed he had “saved TikTok.” Trump’s most recent executive order on TikTok extended the TikTok ban until Dec. 16 pending the sale of its U.S. operations to a joint venture that includes several American investors.
According to an infographic Trump shared on Truth Social, there were over 166 billion views on TikToks that used the hashtag #Trump. The hashtag #MAGA garnered 201 billion views. The most viewed Trump-related videos included the inauguration, with 6 billion views, the military parade in the summer of 2025, with 1 billion views, and the Big Beautiful Bill Act that Trump signed, also with 1 billion. Trump also claimed to be the most followed account among world leaders and politicians with 16 million followers.

The graphic also included a shout-out to the late commentator Charlie Kirk, reporting 4 billion views “across all TikToks on Trump and Charlie Kirk.” During Trump’s 2024 reelection bid, Kirk campaigned for Trump and continued to support the president until his assassination in September.
Trump has long touted his “good experience” with TikTok, having joined the platform during his 2024 campaign, and gave “big credit to TikTok” for winning over younger voters. Less than a week after joining the platform, Trump promised he would “never ban TikTok.”
Meanwhile, the White House is active on TikTok and has 4.5 million followers. White House communications adviser Margo Martin is largely credited with the social media strategy of the Trump administration.
TIKTOK FASTEST GROWING PLATFORM: PEW RESEARCH
Lawmakers have long opposed TikTok because the app’s parent company, ByteDance, has ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Now the ban will permanently come to an end as the platform changed its ownership last month.
The Washington Examiner has reached out to the White House and TikTok for comment.
