In his second video posted to TikTok, former President Donald Trump faced off with YouTuber Logan Paul.
Trump, a UFC fan, launched his TikTok earlier this month with a video featuring a montage of his appearance at UFC 302 in Newark, New Jersey.
The former president posted his second video to the platform on Wednesday featuring a mock-face-off between himself and Paul as Mike Majlak held a championship belt behind the two. In the video, Trump appears to break first as he cracks a smile before embracing Paul in laughter.
The video was filmed while recording Trump's appearance on Paul's podcast, Impaulsive, co-hosted by Majlak. The episode is scheduled for release today.
Paul teased Trump's appearance with a video of the former president gifting Paul and Majlak signed MAGA hats and "Never Surrender" t-shirts featuring Trump's infamous Fulton County, Georgia mugshot, which was made public last August.
"These sell for a lot of money, these things," Trump says as he hands Paul and Majlak their signed hats.
"Is this your mugshot?" Paul asks Trump as he hands them their shirts.
"Yeah, can you believe it?" Trump responded as the podcast hosts broke into laughter. Paul then referred to the mugshot as "gangster." Donald Trump gifts Logan Paul his mugshot 😂🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/oeQqS3upH8

"And it sells," Trump said of his "Never Surrender" mugshot shirts. "Elvis had one, Frank Sinatra had one, but we've eclipsed them."
"A long time ago, we've eclipsed them," he added.
In a clip from the upcoming episode, Paul extended an invite to have President Joe Biden as a guest on the program.
"I think he should. You know what chance you have of getting him on?" Trump said. "I'd say less than one percent." Logan Paul invites Joe Biden on the podcast in front of Donald Trump.. 😳 pic.twitter.com/MyoiV700U0

Trump said he would actually watch the episode of Paul's podcast if he secured Biden as a guest.
On May 31, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in his "hush money" case.
The former president was accused of making payments to former attorney Michael Cohen in 2016 to cover up an alleged affair with adult actress Stormy Daniels nearly 20 years ago.
“This was a disgrace. This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt,” Trump said shortly after his verdict. “It’s a rigged trial, a disgrace. They wouldn’t give us a venue change. We were at 5% or 6% in this district, in this area. This was a rigged, disgraceful trial.”
Trump is the first president to be the subject of a criminal trial, and subsequently be convicted, and is schedule for sentencing on July 11.
