Trump Hotline Is Getting Punked Thanks To TikTok Trend
President Donald Trump set up a voter fraud hotline and it's getting calls -- but not a single one about real election shenanigans.
Instead, pranksters are phoning in with phony complaints, songs and movie clips, and presidential impersonations.
Supporters of Democratic challenger Joe Biden launched their efforts on Twitter and TikTok. The campaign caught fire this weekend, the Washington Post reported.
One caller explained she had met the devil at her Georgia polling place and he challenged her to a fiddle contest. The bet: The presidency. If the devil lost, Trump would win. If she lost, Biden would win. Well, guess who lost.
A good number played "FDT," the crude anti-Trump rap by YG. And a tweeter submitted the script for the "Bee Movie" -- word for word -- in an online form.
Comedian Tony Atamanuik, who is known for his dead-on Trump impersonation, called the hotline to "report the biggest fraud: the election is being stolen from me.,” the Post reported.
Others have used the form to send naughty pictures, which Axios reporter Jonathan Swan described in a tweet as “better left unpublished.”
The Twitterati and the TikTok crowd also have advised others -- tongue-in-cheek -- not to call the hotline, then added the number to their posts.
The TikTok users are posting videos of their conversations with hotline workers.
Trump's son Eric Trump took to Twitter himself, blaming Democrats.
“The DNC is spamming our voter fraud hotline to bog down the thousands of complaints we are receiving!” Eric Trump tweeted. “Wonder what they have to hide.”
A spokesperson for Trump told The Hill that the voter fraud line has been “very effective.”
