Days later Fallon was forced to apologize and invite all of the Black creators behind the dances on the show to interview them before they did the choreography.

A Twitter user responded to the Trump meeting writing: ‘Miss Addison Rae how you stealing from black creators and shaking hands with trump and saying “it’s so nice to meet you” ermmm the math ain’t mathing.’

Another said: ‘not Addison Rae being one of the biggest performative activists last summer and now her willingly going up to Trump to introduce herself and talk to him.’

There were several, however, who came to the defense of the popular TikTok star. 

One Twitter user wrote: ‘Addison Rae being cancelled for saying hello to trump is why people vote trump. Far left American is just as ridiculous as right.’ 

Another said: ‘if you care that addison rae said hi to trump then you are probably a loserr.’ 

One took a similar stand despite not being a fan of hers as they wrote: ‘As much I dislike Addison rae, she shouldn’t get cancelled for saying hi to president Trump.’ 

The clip of Addison’s run-in with Trump, once uploaded to NELK’s YouTube channel, went viral across multiple social media platforms.

It drew mixed reactions from the TikTok superstar’s devout fanbase, with a few fans speculating about her political affiliation – a topic that was first brought up and shutdown by the star early in her career.

Back in 2019, Addison clarified in the comment section of one of her TikTok videos that she was ‘not registered and never have been registered before’ to vote in her home state of Louisiana, after a TikTok went viral claiming she ‘had allegedly voted Republican in 2014, 2016 and 2018 in Tarzana, California,’ as per PopBuzz.

‘This isn’t real hahahaha. First I’m from Louisiana, second I’m not even registered to vote and never have been I’m actually doing it for the first time with someone important and I’m excited to do so. This is fake,’ she wrote at the time.

‘why would she want to say hi?? It ain’t adding up,’ read one critical tweet, who suggested that Addison’s support of the Black Lives Matter movement and other social justice movements contradicts her apparent desire to meet Trump during Saturday’s fight.

Another shocked fan condemned ‘all these people trying to defend [Addison] when that man [Trump] is an evil person that she does not need to be associated with ??

‘like why the f**k would she want to introduce herself if she didn’t like who he is,’ the tweet concluded.

Others moved past the outrage and, instead, wondered just how Addison was able to seemingly make it past Trump’s team of secret service agents.

‘How does a random person just walk walk up and touch a person with secret service protection?’ read one concerned tweet, with another writing: ‘Is nobody surprised how she casually just scrolled up on the former president and tapped his shoulder where the secret service at?’

Addison has yet to address the her now viral Trump interaction, but she has continued to post on social media as usual, with her most recent post being a series of backyard portraits.
