Trump says he's "number one" on TikTok, and he's not about to let anything as inconvenient as the truth stop him from banging on about it — or stop him from pronouncing TikTok completely wrong. "Ooh, number one on 'TicTac'?" says Daily Show host Desi Lydic in the monologue above, after playing a clip of the president flubbing the app's name. "Not to mention on 'Facebark' and 'Instagorp'. Let's see the master at work." Cue a TikTok of Trump cheerfully talking about his TikTok numbers and the influence he has before randomly saying "stop communism" right at the end. "What? Stop communism? Where did that come from? That TikTok was directed by M. Night Shyamalan," says Lydic. "Look, I know that doesn't seem like that would be very popular on TikTok, but don't forget, they love messy bitches." It's not just Trump, either. Various US government departments are now on Tiktok, including the FBI. Want more of the best of late night? Sign up for Mashable's Top Stories newsletter.
