Amazing. The flurry of statistics pertaining to President-elect Trump’s historic victory is not only amazing but telling. Let’s do the deep dive. The Trump campaign has posted a “Post-Election TikTok Overview.” The statistics, which include both post-election and election numbers, speak exactly to the reason that, against the odds, Donald J. Trump became President-elect Trump in 2024. Let’s take a look. Here are the account figures by specific accounts. The figures for the @realdonaldtrump handle are: 14.6 Million Followers 1.5 million followers added since Election Day (+11 percent) 1.4 Billion Views 225 million views added since Election Day (+19 percent) The figures for the @teamtrump handle are: 8.1 Million Followers 2.9 million followers added since Election Day (+57 percent) 2.4 Billion Views 703 million views added since Election Day (+42 percent) The @realdonaldtrump and @teamtrump handles combined are: 22.7 Million Followers 4.4 million followers added since Election Day (+24 percent) 3.8 Billion Views 928 million views added since Election Day (+32 percent) Recall the liberal media criticism and head shaking by Democrats when Trump showed up in person at a McDonald’s to flip French fries? Here’s this: McDonald’s Content Performance:  There have been 174 million views across 30,000 TikTok videos referencing President Trump’s McDonald’s visit. The McDonald’s visit videos posted directly by the campaign (@realdonaldtrump + @teamtrump) generated 5.5 times more views on TikTok (155 million) than Instagram Reels (28 million). Garbage Truck Content Performance: There have been 148 million views across 3,600 TikTok videos referencing President Trump’s garbage truck event. The garbage truck event videos posted directly by the campaign (@realdonaldtrump + @teamtrump) generated 5 times more views on TikTok (83 million) than Instagram Reels (17 million).

Some videos have more than one hashtag from this list and would otherwise be double-counted. So what do we have here? What we have is a 21st-century-style record of just how the considerable support for candidate Trump manifested itself in TikTok videos — as opposed to Instagram videos — during the election. As the future rolls on, obviously there will be other elections. Already the political elites of both parties are musing about their potential candidates in the post-Trump era election that will be 2028. Vice President JD Vance for the GOP? Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro for the Democrats?  Who knows. But without a doubt, 2028 campaign gurus will be looking at the kind of TikTok statistics listed above for then-candidate Donald Trump in 2024 to measure the popularity of whomever the candidates for 2028 turn out to be.
