Donald Trump says TikTok "worthless," might not save it after all
The president had previously said he was looking to save the social media platform.
Summary
Donald Trump called TikTok "worthless" and suggested he might not intervene to lift its nationwide ban, which took effect on January 19 over national security concerns about its Chinese ownership.
Previously, Trump had pledged to save TikTok, citing its role in his campaign's social media success, but his latest remarks hinted at demands for U.S. ownership of the platform.
House Speaker Mike Johnson supported the ban, citing fears of Chinese influence on TikTok's algorithms.
You're viewing a single thread.
Man, I really hope he does the double-flipflop on this and bans it again. Because Tiktok pulled the stunt this weekend to kiss his ass, blocking the app preemptively for the USA and crediting Trump with "saving" it with the popup message. This would be most disruptive to the propaganda pushers on both sides of the globe, and piss off the most people against them.
u-turning so fast he's basically drifting in circles.
Did someone say donuts?!
I think you're on to something...
I think you're on
tosomething...FTFY 😁
"The Weave" lol
Isn't the 'weave' the mop of hairsprayed fiber on top of Trump's head?
Assuming you're serious, its what he describes how he wanders one topic to another when asked about a plain fact. if not serious, yes, absolutely. Greatest weave in all the lands of the gulf of america
I hope Mexico retaliates by renaming Baja California
They should petition IUPAC to rename Americium to Mexiconium
Could just rename Mexico to Great America
Trump holds no convictions outside filling his ego hole. He will go with whatever the most influential person that talked to him last. His u-turn here doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
it amuses me that people expect anything else from his presidency. it will be a "highest bidder wins" war.
It will be especially funny because they have had a lot more conservative type join as well, and based off everyone complaining about their "algorithm" it seems like those types are enjoying themselves...
