What is Triller?

Triller is, like TikTok, an application for creating vertical videos accompanied by a backing track. Available for Android and iOs, Triller allows you to edit videos professionally directly from your smartphone thanks to simple tools that allow you to add filters and effects.

The social network resembles in all respects to TikTok except for the origin. Founded in 2015 by David Liberman and Sammy Rubin, Triller has its headquarters in the very American New York. In recent weeks, thanks also to Trump's strict policy towards TikTok, Triller has quickly reached over 250 million downloads.

The @donaldjtrump account on Triller has more than 4,000 followers and his video of presentation is rapidly reaching 5 million views.

In this video the president of the United States makes his debut on the platform with “I'm a professional at technology” (“I'm a professional in technology”). The account joins a network of 28 million followers on Facebook, 21 million on Instagram and 85 million on Twitter.
