Don’t believe the rhetoric. I for one don’t want to have anything to do with Meta or TikTok owned by the oligarchs. The less of my time and money they get the better.
Dude couldn’t even execute this correctly. Now no one will care, it didn’t even last a day. He should’ve waited till tomorrow, but I’m fine with him having the political instincts of a gnat
We're now in the age of the US Government being run by international Mafia.
Trump got kickbacks and payments to allow ByteDance to continue to spy into the lives of everyone who installs TikTok malware. Trump's all about money and doesn't give a fuck about American security.
Y’all can’t see more than a single foot ahead of yourselves. Whether you agree with the decision or not this gives Trump momentum as he heads into office.
Dear #TikTok, I don’t know if you’ve followed the last ::checks notes:: *DECADE*, but Trump is not known for keeping his assurances. Like when he assured the US that he’d ban YOU back in 2019 by Executive Order (which SCOTUS ruled he couldn’t).
Instead of focusing so much attention on Tik-Tok, what the powers that be need to be worried about is the number of American companies sending their tech support out the country to people who can barely speak English and them having access to all out data!
Christ. @nbcnews.com You too? Where is the coverage of TikTok’s self ban and immediate reversal along with the propaganda piece it pushed out to every user ? Pathetic
I continue to be impressed at how fucking stupid democrats are. They basically gift wrapped this for Trump by joining the stupid ban for “bipartisan” purposes, instead of a proper data protecting law. Now Donald gets to be the one who can say he “saved” TikTok and he gets another propaganda tool.
Yes. I know. We all know. It doesn’t matter, because it was Biden who signed the law and now Trump gets to “save it”. This is how most of TikTok’s users are going to hear it, this is how the media is going to report it, doesn’t matter if you bring up Trump’s previous actions, this is how it will go.
So those assholes wouldn’t believe Biden, but believe Trump. They are in bed. More media is going maga and it’s sickening. So what county will fight our Hitler?
I feel there is another letter coming from Chief Justice John Roberts. He must be really pissed off by now. Before he thought the Court was being disrespected. Now it’s being totally ignored.
Senator Cotton says this is illegal, but he thinks we are so stupid as to believe his propaganda that “Democrats” are to blame for Trump’s lawlessness and bribe seeking.
So, (in my best Trump voice) “China, China, China. We have to defend ourselves from China.” I guess he doesn’t mean it. I knew that all along. #GOPHypocrisy
A reminder that Trumps is good at talking out both sides of his mouth and the media isn’t able to really convey this or they just don’t want too lol it also doesn’t help that democrats step on rakes mad that people were mad about Gaza.
I will not continue to use a Trump tiktok. I will be going to the new AT Protocol tiktok called Skylight! Go follow @buildwithtori.com and @skylight.social
You all got scammed by the gop and trump. It was the plan ALL ALONG. The TikTok ceo is going to trump's inauguration.
trump wants control of everyone's personal info. Why isn't our "news" reporting this?
Haha yea! Dems have become such masters of this obviously genius 4D chess shit that they get played by themselves.
"This is not an attempt to ban TikTok, it's an attempt to make TikTok better. Tic-tac-toe, a winner." - Inside trader and congressional cryptkeeper of power, Nancy Pelosi.
You should also be reporting that maga congress voted to shut it down and the orange stain himself called it a threat. I wonder how much he charged to turn this around? The biggest grift in history has begun
You mean, now that they can fill it with American propaganda and lies.
They just didn't want us to see how much our own government hate us.
They didn't want us to see how far behind we are in comparison with healthcare, efficiency, and education.
They want us fat, miserable, uneducated, and antisocial.
They don’t want us communicating, especially with other countries in better shape than us; just working and lining their pockets.
So, the app is compromised & completely useless like the rest of them now? Wonderful. 🙄

What a stunt he pulled. He-who-must-not-be-named was the one who created the problem in the first place, and now he's trying to look like the hero. Gross.
Nothing more than a publicity stunt to make T**** look like a hero before his inauguration tomorrow 😐. He's the reason for the ban in the first place. The fact that TT is cozing up to DJT is actually gross 😒
Big f’ing deal. Don’t use it. Don’t care if younger generation uses it. The national security issue isn’t an issue to Trump and team. Don’t like where it’s going? Vote the fascists out. Adding to the stupidity just makes it worse.
Screw that. Left Twitter when it became a conservative sounding board ran by a poser with massive insecurities. Not going back to a short form video platform backed by him.
Too late. Already deleted and won't go back. To busy learning mandarin from people in a real first world country. Not the backwoods idiots in this this world country.
Democrats really are completely incompetent. It was Trump who initiated the ban, Democrats helped get a bill through banning it, and then handed Trump the ability to “save” it and earn support from young people
No it isn’t. Democrats are Lucy with the football. They say we want to do all these things but never get them done. Republicans say we want to do xyz and dems (mostly) stop them. The result is the continuation of the status quo while we argue about culture issues.
We know they don't. That is why we don't say it because its so obvious. The Dems try so much to pretend they care and rope in left leaning people but in reality neither major party cares for the vast majority. Only the rich.
No free press in China (NBC News doesn't care, it will always support Trump). Trump is helping the Chinese Communist Party owned and operated app. NBC News will NEVER hold Republicans' feet to the fire over this betrayal of the USA.
Trump suggested banning TikTok and then got them to pump his shitcoin as a bribe to revoke it. He gets to swindle Americans in 2 ways at once, makes tons of money off of grifting worthless crypto and convincing them he “saved” free speech.
Specifically, an assurance that Trump’s government will selectively enforce some laws but not others. Oath of office already violated before he retakes it.
Wait! What!? It was a law passed by turds and Dems last year- bipartisan. 'It' can't just be an override of a law in place? Unless, of course, this was always the plan! To save TikTok in a dramatic...'I saved the World' mantra. I still pray for: 'infarto de miocardio' every single damn day.
Has anybody pointed out that he doesn't have the authority to do this? He can't just rewrite a law with an executive order. Law was passed. Supreme Court upheld it. It's the law. His duty is to enforce it.
You just made that photo up as the original stated President Trump because those numbskulls running the company have no concept of time zones, which is why it shut off and started back up when it did.
lol, man people must be really dumb. TikTok didn’t need to be taken down in the first place. They are trying to make Trump look like a hero. This country is so baked 🤦🏻♂️

I can still post myself going to the store paying inflated prices for products.
He is not saving anything, he is reversing his stupidity that Biden’s stupid old ass signed into action.
Your photos, text messages and listen in on your phone conversations.
WE NEED TO GET RID OF BOTH OF THEM! If not it's going to be a never ending game of back and forth!
Anyway, a trashy app for a trashy guy! Nothing surprising here…
Trump does not have the legal authority to make such promises.
Alex, what is "Separation of Powers?"

We need big change

Cheers from Brasil comrade
But he's learned how to profit from making absurd lies and selling the power of the US Government.
... cheap eggs and TikTok... - Trump
Last straw..
They outlawed TikTok to clear the way for the D bags..
And now they have preemptively given immunity to the OG‘s
As of Noon Tomorrow..
So much for..
‘The Rule of Law’.
