Donald Trump makes dig at Taylor Swift as he claims he's 'the number one person on Tic Tac'

President Donald Trump has been called out online after he made a comment about Taylor Swift’s popularity just days after she got married to Travis Kelce.

Trump and Swift have had a famously bad relationship following her music being used in the promotion of his 2024 presidential nemesis, Kamala Harris.

Since then, he has made a number of jabs about the singer, with one being as recent as July 4th, when the White House commented an image that had ‘Trump is your president’ superimposed over Swift’s marriage announcement posters at Madison Square Garden.

Swift was again under attack because of the Harris music issue, with him writing on Truth Social "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!"

But while Trump had nicer works to say about the couple's engagement back in August 2025, he has since gone back to slating Swift.

This time, he has allegedly falsely claimed he's ‘by far’ the top followed account on TikTok in an Oval Office conversation with reporters just yesterday (July 6).

He began by talking about all the ‘high I.Q.’ people he knows, noting: "I'm a cheerleader for geniuses. I love geniuses. I love high I.Q. people He is a high I.Q. Person. I love high I.Q. People. I speak to Elon [Musk], I speak to Mark [Zuckerberg], I speak to Jeff [Bezos], everybody … At my first inauguration, none of them were standing behind me, they were just the opposite. At the last inauguration, every one of them was standing behind me. It was sort of… amazing. I speak to all of them, and I encourage them. I want them to be tremendously successful."

He the addressed his apparent TikTok popularity, the dangers of the app, and also his ranking on the ‘list’ of accounts.

“It was announced about two days ago, the new numbers just came out, you know who the number one person in Tic Tac is by far?,” he asked.

"Trump, me. I'm number one… Taylor Swift was number eleven. I'm number one on TikTok by far. The numbers just came out, and I said, 'Well, I'm hearing about how they influence. They are talking about [how] they're a tremendous danger because of the influence. If they influence so badly, I'm saying all things like I love our country, we have to stop Communism. We're doing a lot of things,'" Trump said, continuing his latest bid to stop an apparent rise in Communists in the US.

He then added: "I'm by far number one. It was sent to me by — the list comes out number one and two. I was number one by a lot.”

For reference, Donald Trump’s TikTok following count at the time of writing this is at 16.7 million followers, while Taylor Swift’s is 33.5 million.

According to Epidemic Sound,Trump isn’t on the list of the top 10 TikTok accounts.
