Long term Trump probably won't benefit from this, but it does give him a strong boost right at the start of his term while he's also passing a bunch of controversial executive orders.

@queermunist @atrielienz there is also a contingent calling it all out and either leaving or moving to a non-US account if they can. The problem is the algorithm/platform is a pretty strong siloing mechanism. https://www.tiktok.com/@oliviacarneyx/video/7461706669509201198
