      I wouldn’t be so sure about that. The CEO has a prominent seat at Trump’s inauguration.

        Yep. Which means TikTok gave Thumper a load of dough and TikTok will be allowed to continue operating here. Zuck is probably not happy since he’d also given him a load of dough to get rid of TikTok.

      That’s not relevant to the argument about how they could be dangerous for national security.

      It’s the Democrats pushing the TikTok ban, Trump loves TikTok.

      Edit: Trump originally was the big driver for banning TikTok yes, but since his election win saw a big swing in the younger vote that’s being attributed to TikTok his stance has switched and I’ll put money on the ban being dropped the instant he gets in.

        Except when he wanted it banned during his first term and up until very, very recently when he flip flopped to loving it.

        He wanted to ban it until he thought it helped him with the youth. So no. You are incorrect.

          So he hated it, and now he loves it, but that means he must still hate it? Make your mind up

        If I recall correctly, it’s a lie being pushed that he won amongst the younger generation when he actually did not. I believe the last thing I read is that he lost the young vote by 11 points. So that’s a lie that he’s pushing for some reason or other.
