Late night hosts mocked Donald Trump and his cabinet members for joining TikTok, the platform the former president once tried to ban. Jimmy Fallon led the charge on "The Tonight Show," quipping that the app must be panicking over its new political user base.

"Right now TikTok is, like, 'Oh, no, are we the new Facebook?'" Fallon said, drawing laughs with the comparison to the social media giant long associated with older demographics and political misinformation. The irony was not lost on comedians, who noted Trump's 2020 executive order attempting to force a sale of the Chinese-owned app over national security concerns.

Other hosts joined in, highlighting the about-face as Trump's team embraces the platform to reach younger voters ahead of the 2024 election. The move underscores a broader shift in political campaigning, where even former critics adopt once-shunned platforms for electoral advantage.
