Trump addresses TikTok ban

Donald Trump addressed questions about the future of TikTok after signing an executive order to keep the app open for 75 days for the company to find a U.S. buyer. Trump's action is a relief to the social media platform’s users even as national security questions persist. #shorts #Trump #POTUS #TikTok #TikTokban

The US is such a fever dream these days. I was never more happy to no live in this circus of a country.

He’s waiting to see how much money they’ll give him to keep TikTok live in the US. Trump is all about the grift.

Elon told him not to shut it down. You know he's going to buy it.

Watching the left meltdown after the people they elected take away their favorite grift platform only to lose thier minds when Trump saves the day is truely on of the greatest things that has ever happened. 😅😂

Of course, that would be the deal, MONEY! Now, instead of dictating the Ban, let's keep it.

Complaints are based on fads. Humans will always find something to complain about. Wanna call out tiktok?? You gotta call out all the rest of them with it or else your committing to favoritism and biased opinions. "The only one they complain about" is a false statement.

This is a great strategy for politicians. Ban TikTok in your country and make them users and TikTok anxious. Desperate users vote for a president that doesn't ban TikTok and also TikTok will make a deal with the president secretly.

The moment when ask the current president about TikTok, and you ask the previous president about ice cream….
And don’t realize the absurdity

Trump’s push to ban TikTok appeared to be more about political maneuvering than genuine national security concerns. During his 2020 re-election campaign, banning TikTok became a key talking point as he sought to appeal to his base, particularly conservative voters who were concerned about Chinese influence and the protection of American data. While he framed the ban as necessary for safeguarding U.S. security against China, the timing suggested a calculated move to tap into rising nationalism and distract from other issues, like his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing protests for racial justice. The decision to target TikTok was also a way to rally voters by positioning himself as tough on China, a familiar campaign trope that resonated with his base. Furthermore, despite the initial threats, Trump failed to follow through with an actual ban, further suggesting that the move was more of a political tactic designed to generate headlines and garner votes rather than a serious, sustained policy effort. Ultimately, his rhetoric around TikTok was part of a broader strategy to use fear and nationalism as tools to energize his electoral prospects, rather than a genuine concern for national security.

Just get rid of TikTok the app. My dear president, I beg you to do that in order to become number one and to become my favorite president.

[Tyrussmokes]

Didn’t Trump once say that it was a threat posed by China ?

[dayhawk]

So government owned media... what could go wrong?

[Mrra-se]

He was the one that started the ban. Smh

[FunnyGreenTea-mole]

After weeks of personal experience, I am 200% agreed to BANNED Tiktok, at least for the USA users in the USA region

[C-View]

What a joke, the guy who pledged to ban TikTok in the first place is now singing its praises. 🤦‍♂️

[RossRhodes-kumt]

We need to monitor and filter some things and add beneficial educational content. IMP.

[ACeezy]

He lost the young vote by a wife margin 🤣. Just another completely made up statistic lol

[strayargus]

He has fragile ego and if people praise him for keeping TikTok he will for sure keep it just for the shake of that

[angryidahobusdriver]

Foolish. Take action and don’t let meta become too big. Regulate the unregulated!

[KingKoin]

Half! Like a gold digger at divorce, I’ll take half! 😂😂😂
