Slobfather tries to get in a pissing match with Taylor Swift

Donald Trump claims Taylor Swift has less TikTok followers than he does

Donald Trump just said that he's more influential on TikTok than Taylor Swift, but the source of his claim remains a blank space.

During a Monday (July 6) press conference, the twice-impeached president falsely bragged that his following on the platform - which he at one point referred to as "Tic Tac" - is greater than the pop superstar's. He told press gathered at the White House: "There's a thing called TikTok, have you heard of it? It was announced about two days ago, the new numbers just came out, you know who the No. 1 person in [TikTok] is by far? Trump. Me."

"I'm No. 1," he continued. "Taylor Swift was No. 11. I'm No. 1 in TikTok by far."

Billboard has reached out to the singer's rep for comment.

Trump couldn't sell out the first 2 rows of the Great American State Inbreeding Festival or whatever the fuck that thing was called.

I can't believe I'm here defending Taylor Swift. Fuck, I can't stand this guy.

Donald Trump's claim is false. Although he has a large following on TikTok, he is neither the platform's most-followed creator nor more popular than Taylor Swift based on follower count.

Current public data shows that Swift has about 33.5 million TikTok followers, compared with Trump's roughly 16.6 million. Swift also has around 274.5 million total likes, while Trump's account has about 121.8 million.

Public TikTok rankings further contradict Trump's statement. Neither Trump nor Swift ranks among the platform's top 10 most-followed accounts, which include creators such as Khaby Lame, Charli D'Amelio, and MrBeast.

Despite posting less frequently, Swift has earned significantly more total likes than Trump, indicating stronger overall engagement. Trump also did not provide any evidence or verifiable ranking to support his claim.
