Now that's even more suspect. His earliest TikTok is a weird static photo transition where he apparently is standing beside Trump. Assuming it is not photoshopped (it looks hella photoshopped), there is a huge discrepancy: the TikTok was first posted by a "Robert Yakupyan".
This name later changes to "Robert Yakubyan"
Hence the transformations:
"Robert Yakupyan"
"Robert Yakubyan"
"Rob Yaghoubian"
"Rab Yaghoubian"
"Rab Yaghubyan"
"Rabert Yaghubyan"
"Rabert Petrosian"
Now I'm not sure about his circumstances, but that's a lot of name changes. Most people never do change their name so often, as it's a huge inconvenience.
There are also only static photos of himself as far as I can tell. There's also almost no way to verify that that's himself taking the footage and travelling with the entourage. Additionally, I thought that the US government is forbidden from using TikTok as it is a security vulnerability, due in no small part to China.
As far as I know, this identity is manufactured.
EDIT: I dug deeper by searching each name variation. I found that this person was at one time advertised to have worked for the Washington Post, as this person pointed out (he was also highly suss about the guy):

Washington Post TikTok Guy At Sea ?☠️ @davejorgenson

Some people on TikTok believe this guy is an actual Post reporter

I would argue this is yet another good reason to be on TikTok - to combat misinformation from someone like this with 171k followers

He doesn’t even go here

The handle changed from @rabert_yaghubyan to @rab_yaghubyan. The profile changed from "Washington Post" to "washingtonpost"
TikTok hasn't taken any action.
Also his profile pic is super sketch. I found two identical faces on two different bodies, one as seen here on Pinterest and another as seen here on YouTube and the above Twitter thread:
