Oops! Trump Took Credit for TikTok Ban Effort in 2023

Trump claimed he was "right" about banning the popular social media platform

Idiot

nancy-oshea.bsky.social•34 days ago

He needs TikTok's viewers to boost his inauguration ratings.

lati888.bsky.social•37 days ago

Wasn't he calling himself the tiktok president or some cringe shit the other month.

thiswewilldefend.bsky.social•37 days ago

Trump is inherently tactical.

His ego does not allow him to come out on the wrong side of a discrete outcome. It’s a classic case of “I was against it until I am for it.”

wndlb.bsky.social•37 days ago

Well of course He was

fredrikblue.bsky.social•36 days ago

PINO Donald takes credit for the sunrise so who is surprised.

jjurek.bsky.social•36 days ago

Until he made money from it. It’s always about money for him.

georgesaint.bsky.social•36 days ago

Well Trump would probably also take credit for the Oompa Loompas but say he does the orange much better and bigger, eventhough these are technically illegal immigrant low cost unskilled workers for billionaire Willy Wonka.

freestatefemale.bsky.social•36 days ago

That was before he was given $86 million by the byte dance CEO.

johnlacagnina.bsky.social•36 days ago

Didn't he try to ban it during his presidency? You would think he would remember that. He also seems to be flip flopping his stance for some reason. Doesn't dementia make you flip flop?

johns3785.bsky.social•36 days ago

But the ever transactional Donald will favor Tick Tock since he somehow believes it got him the "youth" vote.

qwertybro.bsky.social•36 days ago

it's a national security threat but his donor has $22bn in it so it can stay around for 4 more years 🙄

old25.bsky.social•36 days ago

I wonder if they are going to request a refund of their donation??

ibelongtohalo2.bsky.social•36 days ago

MAGAts were all for it too, but now that he wants to stop the ban, he’s looking to be the savior and MAGA will rejoice and be happy for dear leader.

ub4him2.bsky.social•37 days ago

Of course he did.

bewilderedturd.bsky.social•36 days ago

Can’t have people seeing communist free health care.

springkid73.bsky.social•37 days ago

Zuckerberg lobbied to have TikTok banned and Congress has stock in Meta. It was never about security risk, but to the highest bidder.

So one Day One he has already said that he is not going to follow the law that his own party put in place! Brilliant!

anita72.bsky.social•34 days ago

That was before he launched his crypto business.

susiea2024.bsky.social•36 days ago

Ouch! Yet another bungle that has come back to bite him.

pauldu.bsky.social•37 days ago

That was before Susquehanna and SoftBank bought their tickets from him

ve5iv.bsky.social•37 days ago

Of course he did, he would take credit for the grand opening of a can of soup.

catlady49ers.bsky.social•37 days ago

I couldn’t care less about TikTok. But I do know that more parents should monitor/supervise their kids’ use of TikTok and limit the amount of time they use it!

jafkettani.bsky.social•35 days ago

10 billions. Check the Trump coin issued yesterday and the massive volumes … this is the new corruption index and I don’t see a problem for TikTok paying 10B and also such a phony coin is the only way to pay such a bribe and have a cover as “investment”.

jafkettani.bsky.social•35 days ago

TFG is delaying TikTok decision while issuing a 9 BILLION coin yesterday. I would bet he is simply waiting for the 10B bribe to be confirmed. 10 billions is what buys you a world leader seat for TikTok president in the rotunda.

missoreo.bsky.social•36 days ago

He will ban it so Musk can buy it, Marketing strategy??

notmw2.bsky.social•37 days ago

Was anyone expecting him to stick to his word?

lol

tjk74.bsky.social•36 days ago

msalisaj.bsky.social•36 days ago

All of them will be sick the following day.

awesomelady55.bsky.social•36 days ago

I thought he had a tik tok account

rosebf.bsky.social•35 days ago

I know he did because I blocked him.

wokeineurope.bsky.social•36 days ago

Do you know? I had a feeling he'd do that, so I created this #meme days ago...😉

chkgrz.bsky.social•36 days ago

Does he even remember doing that? Does he remember decisions he made five minutes ago?

bwg57.bsky.social•37 days ago

Every Trump utterance has an implicit clause: "Until I say something else."

jragazzo456.bsky.social•37 days ago

Right on brand for him. Take credit for whatever & responsibility for nothing.

grumpydoc19.bsky.social•36 days ago

The Felon is proudly seating a Chinese Communist Party corporate leader in a place of honor at his inauguration.

betsybaumb.bsky.social•37 days ago

He will ban it so Musk can buy it.

hoosiergal44.bsky.social•36 days ago

Whatever. He's always right...so far to the right he's going to fall in the Atlantic Ocean.

mfilak5.bsky.social•36 days ago

He’ll just loudly keep rewriting history until all the ignorant MAGAs believe it. That approach seems to be working so far. Dems better get their messaging act together quickly!

jcooli09.bsky.social•36 days ago

Trump always lies.

nancyward.bsky.social•35 days ago

Of course he did. He’ll take credit for Gaza-Israeli cease fire, too.

mb-brown.bsky.social•36 days ago

Flip Flop master!

vinkohl.bsky.social•37 days ago

Going to be awkward with the CEO of Tic Toc sitting on his lap during the inauguration.

crazy4sherman.bsky.social•36 days ago

Trump doesn't stand for anything. It's all about who's clapping for what and who has the money to buy him.

pkd1968.bsky.social•36 days ago

Of course he did! 🤡

negrolow.bsky.social•37 days ago

Now, he wants to steal it.

caligreg.bsky.social•34 days ago

Ban it now! His stance was clear,
But flattery whispered in his ear.
A sudden shift, a change in track,
Now he’s got TikTok’s back!

nopasaran161.bsky.social•37 days ago

so Putin bans FB etc .. now Trump usa bans tictok
BOTH
disenfranchising the YOUTH !!

If the left play our cards right here
Theres an army just waiting to be ORGANISED !!

sdc-99.bsky.social•36 days ago

He did want to ban it, along with WeChat (which I wouldn't argue about) but then changed his mind after getting paid off by the head of ByteDance.

in-mea-sententia.bsky.social•36 days ago

Ofuckingcourse he did!🙄
Trump also invented the first printing press, the first telephone, discovered the first DNA sequence, split the first atom, found a new species of subhuman troglodytes and named them MAGA, and was given the Pulizer Prize for his incoherent Tweets.

dudeincredible.bsky.social•37 days ago

Did a literal 180 on this when his buddy Jeff Yass opened the checkbook.

mrroscoe.bsky.social•36 days ago

China kept possession of tiktok and all they had to do was flatter trump....he's a bigger mark than his voters. They retained the platform and all the users information

escarietson.bsky.social•36 days ago

Down the road this guy will be remembered solely as a total clown and so much to draw from in that respect

karhey.bsky.social•36 days ago

More signs of mental decline

tuathade.bsky.social•37 days ago

He forgot the bit about changing his mind about it though, no surprise there. BBC article is woefully short in forgetting to mention the completely unqualified people Trump has nominated "to satisfy national security concerns"

youdontknowjack.bsky.social•36 days ago

And the TikTok CEO is thanking him 🤡

justiceforall1776.bsky.social•37 days ago

Of course doesn't he take credit for everything even when he's not the "president oligarch" POS
NOT MY PRESIDENT!!!

curlyadelita.bsky.social•35 days ago

Never forget that they did this ... he will try to come back and "save" it, but he did this! Keeps playing people

mln06.bsky.social•36 days ago

What a piece of shit he is

He uses TikTok - on what phone?
How often is that phone checked by experts?

craigiep1.bsky.social•36 days ago

The only thing Donnie Orange has not taken credit for in recent years, is the Jan 6 insurrection in Washington

bee-buzzy.bsky.social•36 days ago

If Musk were to be allowed to buy it every single user should just create videos mocking him.

glugla.bsky.social•36 days ago

Because there was too much left wing content on it, so the republicans made up a story to ban it. Prove me wrong.

hellcatfury123.bsky.social•36 days ago

I still wanna know why tik tok is so damn important

conquerwithcam.bsky.social•36 days ago

To the people or for the government to ban? To the people… a way to communicate & organize fairly quickly. People to
learn skills and be apart of a greater community for good. It helped people get out of homelessness.

Now what is importance for the government to ban it.. suppress the above ☝️

hellcatfury123.bsky.social•36 days ago

You're joking? Right? Exactly how did tik tok help people get out of homelessness? Why can't people communicate in other ways?

conquerwithcam.bsky.social•36 days ago

And just cause they didn’t communicate how you like. It doesn’t mean it wasn’t a viable option. People saw the authenticity in folks in their videos, their voices, mannerisms.

hellcatfury123.bsky.social•36 days ago

How many STUPID trends on tik tok caused people harm and caused death?

conquerwithcam.bsky.social•36 days ago

Yeah… that spilled over to all the other social medias. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

hellcatfury123.bsky.social•36 days ago

Do you have any idea how many scammers used tik tok to bilk people out of money?

hellcatfury123.bsky.social•36 days ago

Oh BULLSHIT. It's as fake as it gets.

conquerwithcam.bsky.social•36 days ago

So SB mowing had a go fund me for this elderly lady that blew up over a 36 hour period. That wasn’t fake & the internet does what the internet does. They find those fake ones. People want to help people. Yes, there are some mooches I’ll give you that but we obviously don’t see 👁️ to 👁️. Take care

conquerwithcam.bsky.social•36 days ago

People went viral and earned money. They made videos, pulled themselves up by their bootstraps but in a different manner. Also, the creator program. People helping people & crowd sourcing as well. Have you ever been on TikTok? It may of started w/ silly dances but evolved immensely.

hellcatfury123.bsky.social•36 days ago

Yeah, I've heard of "crowd sourcing" aka FREELOADERS using others who actually work for a living. They're sponges.

hellcatfury123.bsky.social•36 days ago

Have you ever heard of a real job?

rungirlrun.bsky.social•36 days ago

The better question is why do millions of Americans love TikTok and what’s the true reason it’s being banned here?

hellcatfury123.bsky.social•36 days ago

Why?

ourcommonground.com•36 days ago

'IF it gets sold to an American buyer' !!! 😂🤣🤣😂
This has been a low-class show all along. No coincidence that TRumpf opposed #TikTok in 2022 and now he is anally infused w/BillionaireBros . . . he now is saying not so fast. Guess who wants to buy???? ZuckerMuskerteers

tdrico.bsky.social•36 days ago

The app would be worthless without the algorithm, so my guess would be he tanks the thing… in the hopes people would flock over to his apps

tlsimm1.bsky.social•36 days ago

maybe, but he was banning them because they were making fun of him, not that it was national security issue. Which by the way he violated with the Top Secret papers.

russwolske.bsky.social•36 days ago

Everything is transactional. Grease the palm.

southernkathleen.bsky.social•37 days ago

I guess he really believed he was President in 2023. Amazing what kind of crap you can fool yourself into believing

mamallamavibe.bsky.social•36 days ago

Wait, didn’t he just say a few days ago that he wanted to save TT because the younger people’s votes helped him get elected? The back and forth with this dude gives me whiplash

rychewired.bsky.social•36 days ago

The Felonious Flip Flop!

popwhovian.bsky.social•37 days ago

He did start the conversation about banning it. If you remember, in 2020, several teens on TikTok bought up a lot of the tickets to his rally and didn't show up. They hurt his wittle feelings. So, he wanted to ban TikTok. It didn't have anything to do with national security for him.

tdrico.bsky.social•36 days ago

Exactly. I remember that, but as always people tend to forget. Like they’re forgetting that meta was behind this past round of trying to get it banned, yet are still on those platforms.

crazy4sherman.bsky.social•36 days ago

yep... and that was hilarious. too bad they didn't request tickets for his inauguration.

geneva1111.bsky.social•36 days ago

I saw at least one person reserved 14 with no intention of going. She made a Tiktok video about it. Others said they did the same, and a few commenters were going to try as well.

luckyloco.bsky.social•36 days ago

Saw that as well

geneva1111.bsky.social•36 days ago

I remember my kids told me about that, before I even knew what TT was.

raryn.bsky.social•36 days ago

I'm of the thought that no one in the political sphere thought that TikTok would call the government's bluff to divest. They were probably expecting them to take some offer.

johnrheinberger.bsky.social•36 days ago

Trump is a child and acts like one. He claims credit when it’s not due to him, he is preoccupied with his own popularity (crowd sizes), he does not take criticism and lauds sycophants, he doesn’t read books and loathes rules and anything that is complicated.
