拉力赛集锦，白宫魅力照和他的招牌动作。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)周二晚上出人意料地重返热门视频应用抖音，在新的官方@whitehouse账户上发布了三个蒙太奇。
第一条帖子的标题是“美国，我们回来了”。视频播放时，特朗普承诺“我是你的声音”。
这个账户并不是特朗普第一次涉足中国拥有的应用程序。他和他的2024年竞争对手乔·拜登总统和副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯都注册了抖音，以努力接触该公司声称在美国拥有的1.7亿用户。特朗普最后一次在选举日从他的前账户@realdonaldtrump向他的1500多万粉丝发布消息。候选人特别希望在这个平台上吸引年轻选民。
但自特朗普第一届政府以来，抖音一直面临美国政府的审查。2020年8月，他发布了一个美国总统之行政命令呼吁对抖音采取“侵略行动”以保护国家安全。共和党提出的一项法案于2022年成为法律，禁止大多数联邦雇员在政府设备上下载该应用程序。
美国当局列出了对美国用户数据被盗的可能性以及潜在的操纵和上瘾算法的担忧。
特朗普在第一个任期内威胁要禁止该应用程序，但在第二个任期内，他已经三次推迟执行2024年的两党法律，该法律要求抖音的中国母公司字节跳动在美国销售该应用程序，否则将被禁止。
预计到最初的禁令期限，抖音在特朗普第二次就职典礼的前一天短暂离开了美国的应用商店，并消失了14个小时。弹出消息信任他当应用程序再次开始工作时，出现了这样一句话，“由于川普总统的努力，抖音回到了美国!”
抖音首席执行官周受资是川普邀请参加他就职典礼的众多科技领袖之一。
该公司为撤资提供了各种替代方案，包括加强监管和数据保护。禁令的最新暂停将于9月17日结束，尽管特朗普一再发誓要为抖音达成协议，甚至暗示主权财富基金何创建于二月可以用来维持抖音在美国的运作
尽管出于安全考虑，白宫新闻秘书卡罗林·莱维特在美国广播公司的一份声明中说，抖音将是总统的一个有力工具。
“特朗普政府致力于通过尽可能多的受众和平台向美国人民传播特朗普总统取得的历史性成功，”莱维特说。“特朗普总统的信息在他的总统竞选期间主导了抖音，我们很高兴能够在这些成功的基础上再接再厉，并以其他政府从未有过的方式进行沟通。”
莱维特也出现在白宫账户的一个片段中。
截至周三下午，该账户已有超过14万名粉丝，仍赶上特朗普的1000多万名Truth Social粉丝和他不太常用的X账户上的超过1.08亿名粉丝。
‘I am your voice’: Trump relaunches on TikTok with White House account
Rally highlights, White House glamour shots and his signature moves. President Donald Trump made a surprise return to the popular video app TikTok with three montages posted to a new official @whitehouse account Tuesday night.
"America we are BACK," the first post was captioned. Trump pledged "I am your voice" as the video played.
The account isn't Trump's first foray with the Chinese-owned app. Both he and his 2024 rivals, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, signed up for TikTok in an effort to reach the 170 million users the company claims it has in the U.S. Trump last posted to his 15 million-plus followers from his former account @realdonaldtrump on Election Day. Candidates especially hoped to court young voters on the platform.
But TikTok has faced scrutiny from the U.S. government since Trump's first administration. In August 2020, he released anexecutive ordercalling for "aggressive action" against TikTok to protect national security. One Republican-introduced bill that became law in 2022 banned most federal employees from downloading the app on government devices.
U.S. authorities have listed concerns about possibilities of stolen U.S. user data and a potentially manipulative and addictive algorithm.
Trump threatened to ban the app in his first term, but has thrice in his second term delayed the enforcement of a 2024 bipartisan law requiring TikTok's Chinese-owned parent company, ByteDance, to sell it in the U.S. or be banned.
In anticipation of the initial ban deadline, TikTok briefly left app stores in the U.S. the day before Trump's second inauguration and went dark for 14 hours. A pop-up messagecrediting himappeared when the app started working again, reading, "As a result of President Trump's efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.!"
TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew was among many tech leaders who Trump invited to his inauguration.
The company offered various alternatives to divesting, including increased oversight and data protection. The latest pause on the ban is set to end on Sept. 17, though Trump repeatedly vowed to cut a deal for TikTok, even suggesting the sovereign wealth fund hecreated in Februarycould be used to keep TikTok operating in the U.S.
Despite security concerns, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to ABC News that TikTok will be a powerful tool for the president.
"The Trump administration is committed to communicating the historic successes President Trump has delivered to the American people with as many audiences and platforms as possible," Leavitt said. "President Trump's message dominated TikTok during his presidential campaign, and we're excited to build upon those successes and communicate in a way no other administration has before."
Leavitt also appeared in a clip on the White House account.
The account racked up more than 140,000 followers by Wednesday afternoon, 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.
