Trump Cabinet Joins TikTok After DOJ Clears Platform for Federal Use: 'Majority-Owned by American Investors'
Agency communications officers prepared profiles and posting schedules as the rollout shifts Cabinet outreach toward policy announcements and behind-the-scenes footage.
- Most members of President Donald Trump's Cabinet launched official TikTok accounts this week, following a new Department of Justice policy determination that cleared federal employees to use the app on state-issued devices.
- The Department of Justice's July 16 opinion concluded the 2022 federal ban no longer applies, citing the platform's transition to a majority-U.S. owned venture called TikTok USDS that operates independently of ByteDance.
- Seventeen new accounts, including the U.S. Department of Education and U.S. Department of Homeland Security, now follow the official White House page, with early content featuring grandiose rhetoric and behind-the-scenes footage.
- White House strategists now view the platform as an essential tool to reach younger American voters, treating it as an acceptable medium for official government messaging rather than solely a regulatory risk.
- Critics argue the algorithm remains under CCP control, though Trump has dismissed concerns about Chinese influence, crediting the platform with helping him win the 2024 election.
