Days after being found guilty in his criminal trial in New York, former President Donald Trump made his first public appearance over the weekend, launched his own TikTok account and sat down for an interview with Fox News. Trump attended the Ultimate Fighting Championship event in Newark, New Jersey, on Saturday, June 1, where he was cheered on by thousands at the Prudential Center.
During the UFC event, Trump launched his TikTok account, quickly amassing over 3 million followers. His post from the UFC event has garnered over 60 million views since it was posted.
While president, Trump had advocated for banning TikTok in the U.S., a stance he has since reversed. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden — who signed a bill in April that could lead to TikTok being banned — also launched his own account earlier this year.

In his Fox News interview that aired on Sunday, June 2, Trump discussed the possibility of facing jail time or house arrest, stating he is “OK with it,” though he questioned whether “the public would stand for it.” Trump was convicted of falsifying business records to influence the 2016 presidential election and has denied any wrongdoing.
During the interview, Trump also commented on his political rivals following the verdict, stating, “And I say it and it sounds beautiful — my revenge will be success.”
Trump’s sentencing is scheduled for July 11.
