He was one of first ones to push for it. I know it’s not a top priority but his reverse is because it helped him win.

I hope he saves TikTok. I like looking at woodworking stuff. And titties. I like them too

This is what Trump does. Responses will be predictable.

He didn’t understand tiktok and was going by what people were telling him about it. Once he aligned with Elon and other tech guys and they said that the government was full of shite - he got on TikTok and and learned/studied it and decided that the platform is not as bad as the liberals were telling everybody

China has thousands of apps. I can understand if it was removed along with the other thousands of apps then sure, but because they are targeting TikTok which spreads “misinformation” (truth) which is why democrats want it banned.

I remember when Bill Clinton's politicos were gathering for the Inaguaration and the military jets flew over and one of them mocked the jets. The other guy told him "no, it's good as those are OUR jets now".

Likely the same with TT. Trump's guys will root out problems and use the mechanism for strategic gain. Time will tell and we'll know soon.

You damn idiots don’t even know what the hell you’re talking about. He has never said he wants the app banned per se. It’s the ownership by Chinese government that he (and many other reasonable people) take issue with. “Fix” that issue and he has no further problem with the app competing in the U.S. market.

I’m ok with Tik Tok being banned if they also ban Temu, Alibaba, Shein, and any other apps out of China. But it’s not about information, but content. People put their bank accounts and addresses in Temu buying all kinds of cheap junk.

China doesn’t allow any Western apps or games in their market yet ship their apps and games to the US and make tons of money. Seems like bullshite to me, we should cut them off IMO

If we don't save TikTok, everyone will go to RedNote. It's already happening and that would be even worse

No issue with it. Banning things rarely works.

He used his brain and decided that TT is just another communication tool that millions of Americans love. There is nothing inherently evil or sinister about the app. Trump weighed the pros and cons and decided it was worth keeping.

I have no issue with him changing his mind on this.

I don't use TikTok, but I hate to see so many people who enjoy it affected.

He’s not a computer nerd dumbass. Just like how Elon Musk is not a fricking QB in the NFL or Mark Zuck a plumber.
