I'm guessing it's because he's on there now and doesn't want to lose another avenue for attention.

justjoe31.bsky.social•152 days ago

If it can benefit him, he'll try to take advantage of it.

The pessimist in me says this is a ploy to get goodwill amongst the youths, but I hope they realize nothing he does is in their best interests

Then a bunch of people are going to eat this up and start supporting him

nintyfan1991.bsky.social•152 days ago

And banning it just became safer.

bookseek.bsky.social•151 days ago

Really! Though he was going to save it

turnbasedcarl.bsky.social•152 days ago

Also, he's not the President, he shouldn't be asking them to do anything. Plus they shouldn't listen, taking orders from the President isn't in their job description.

joebrmd.bsky.social•151 days ago

I mean he's a piece of shit but it says he's asking them, not ordering them

turnbasedcarl.bsky.social•151 days ago

Asking with the knowledge & pressure of having personally appointed 3 of them.

12trose.bsky.social•152 days ago

The number of ppl who don’t know this is pretty wild.

socialspark.bsky.social•152 days ago

I know he is not the president and I also know anyone can ask the courts anything.

silverclovd.bsky.social•151 days ago

Anyone can ask anyone anything. That is a big nothing burger of a statement.

The point stands that the president does not rule over the Supreme Court and they are not directly answerable to an incoming President's whims.

12trose.bsky.social•152 days ago

Okay great, thanks for sharing.

turnbasedcarl.bsky.social•152 days ago

But he's the one that wanted it in the 1st place. 🤣

misterwylie.bsky.social•151 days ago

Yeah. I'll just deactivate my Tik Tok right now and save myself the trouble.

finjer.bsky.social•151 days ago

Trump trying to save TikTok was not a plot twist I saw coming

rbeans4.bsky.social•152 days ago

First Trump W?

rbeans4.bsky.social•117 days ago

You know, in hindsight, this wasn’t the best take ever I don’t think

chipchart.bsky.social•151 days ago

Trump to Xi Jinping - "Okay. Let me get this straight... I give you TikTok back, You pressure Mexico with trade restrictions... We got a deal?"

francujulie.bsky.social•151 days ago

That not possible

scarclan.bsky.social•152 days ago

Why does he want to increase tariffs on China yet not ban TikTok?

This man continues to confuse me, like who's side are you on?

galaktix.bsky.social•152 days ago

He’s on his own side. He explained that Baron likes TikTok and shows him funny ones sometimes so he likes it. Every decision he makes is for himself.

scarclan.bsky.social•152 days ago

Not surprising at all.

pedro-monte.bsky.social•151 days ago

don’t trust him

legion1620.bsky.social•152 days ago

Lol no balls

johncorriveau.bsky.social•152 days ago

I wonder how much they donated to the inaugural fund?

shawnisstilltired.bsky.social•152 days ago

Nope. Ban it.

bellomancer.bsky.social•151 days ago

Of course. He wants an avenue for MAGA propaganda to reach young people.

socialspark.bsky.social•152 days ago

the government interactions with Toc is an infringement on my assembly and speech. If China owned a hotel and it's parking lot should the government be able to say I can't stand there and talk to people or gather people. Where are we actually gathered when We gather in Internet space, in our HOMES!!

bdubzdm21.bsky.social•151 days ago

The Government protects the rights of Citizens ... not foreign adversaries.

This isn't a difficult concept to grasp.

socialspark.bsky.social•151 days ago

I don't know what government you are talking about but the US government always puts foreign citizens above US citizens, they also protect the profits of foreign corporations and foreign governments it doesn't matter where they're doing business their profits will be protected over us profits

thejeffebario14.bsky.social•151 days ago

nah, ban it.

camoza.bsky.social•152 days ago

Where is the legal precedent? This is a clown show.

fonzthetrekkie.bsky.social•151 days ago

Ban it!

ghostdini03.bsky.social•151 days ago

"Today that billionaire is Jeffrey Yass, a major donor to the conservative Club for Growth as the group cozies up to Trump ahead of his 2024 presidential campaign. Yass holds a 15 percent stake in TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance."

lebyeg.bsky.social•152 days ago

Ban it, I want to see the Selena and Hailey stans get lives!

galaktix.bsky.social•152 days ago

Why you leaving out the swifties? 🤣

lebyeg.bsky.social•152 days ago

Them too, thank you for reminding me! 👍🏻

galaktix.bsky.social•152 days ago

Any time! Lmao

thehypercane.bsky.social•152 days ago

Nah, ban it.

socialspark.bsky.social•152 days ago

When you gather in Internet space where are you actually at? I am in my home. So when does the government come for this app, when does it come for comments sections of news when does it come for letters to the editor

carbonbasedgod.bsky.social•152 days ago

Why cuz you hate that people can’t be propagandized and stupid morons and believe Republican lies?

thehypercane.bsky.social•152 days ago

TikTok isn’t the serum to cure disinformation spread by political parties, nor did I imply I want it gone because of your random assumption drawn from zero source, you are asking a loaded question here.
