Donald Trump has joined Tik Tok, the social media platform he decries as a Chinese plot to destabilize America.

"It's my honor," Trump responds as the TikTok cuts to a montage of the former president greeting fans at the arena.

"That was a good walk on, right?" Trump says in the closing moments of the clip.

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to NBC News' request for comment.

Just a single post so far, on the social media platform he decries as a Chinese plot to destabilize America.

The news comes as president Joe Biden, who also plans to ban Tik Tok, continues to post on Tik Tok.

TikTok has filed a legal challenge to the law Biden signed in April that would ban the app unless it finds a new owner. Oral arguments in the case are scheduled for September.
