  • "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert mocked President Donald Trump 's explanation for his about-face on TikTok, which he tried to ban during his first term in office but is now trying to protect. Critics say the popular social media video platform has close ties to the Chinese government and could be used as a tool to spy on Americans.

Stephen Colbert, on his show "The Late Show," humorously critiqued former President Donald Trump's recent venture into TikTok, where Trump posted his first video on the platform. This move came after Trump had previously attempted to ban TikTok in the U.S. due to national security concerns over its Chinese ownership. In his video, Trump appeared at an Ultimate Fighting Championship event, engaging with fans and promoting his return to social media. Colbert mocked Trump's contradictory behavior, highlighting the irony of Trump joining a platform he once tried to eliminate, and humorously suggested that Trump might next appear on other platforms he has criticized, like CNN or MSNBC. The segment underscores the ongoing political and cultural discussions about social media, security, and Trump's unpredictable political maneuvers.
