  • On Sept. 29, 2021, TikTok user @restroomuser posted a new video that claimed U.S. President Donald Trump told The Associated Press in 2018 that his favorite song was Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. The video was viewed nearly 500,000 times in 24 hours. The vast majority of comments showed that many viewers believed the claim to be true. Some commenters also noted that part of the lyrics for the song contained the words, I just want you to know who I am, which they related to Trump's personality. However, the video was nothing more than a joke. Trump's Associated Press interview from Oct. 16, 2018, mentioned nothing about a favorite song or Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdYWuo9OFAwAccording to a BBC News article from October 2020, Trump's real favorite song is Peggy Lee's Is That All There Is? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPP6UgkmyM4BBC News reported on the meaning of the song, and how Trump connected it to his own life: In sum, Trump's favorite song was not Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. The TikTok video that made the claim was simply a joke. (en)
