He focuses on such stupid shit.

TikTok is still banned as per the original agreement. It is not in the US appstore and receives no updates. Trump didn’t bring anything back.

Was never about content creators. Wasn't even about a Chinese espionage threat (though real, certainly.) It was about X and Facebook being unable to compete. They wanted a means to buy and absorb competition like always. Govmnt. granted that.

Feels like this will hurt the trump merch guys on the corner more than anyone else ? lol

those guys buy that crap in bulk from whatever distributor imports them in bulk from the cheapest sweatshops in all of Haiti.

For an extra two bucks per shirt, they will even rip out the made in Haiti tags and replace them with Made in USA.

The funny thing is TikTok isn’t even fully back & yet they did All That for Trump. It’s not on the App Store, it’s just not shut down in the US. Which was one of the outcomes before Trump even said anything. They can’t run updates & people can’t do things like get new phones if they want to use it.

android phones can download the app from outside the app store, one of the benefits of not being within the walled garden

i mean it should be shutdown in the US, their hosting provider (oracle) is pretty flagrantly violating the law

Taking economic options and freedom away from women and younger gens isn’t funny. It was about that control of the financials.

Trump didn't bring back TikTok.

Tiktok voluntarily closed their site to Americans even though the Biden administration said they wouldn't enforce the ban.

Then they opened it again after Trump said he would not enforce it.

Wait is this real? I know someone using their revenue to pay for their pitbull's chemo...

From what I can tell this rule would apply to buying/selling dropshipped items off TikTok shop, but not affect the tiktok creativity program that pays based on ad revenue.

Can't wait for the double whammy of this and tariffs to kill the bottom line for dollar and convenience stores across the states that unfortunate food deserts depend on when other stores are an hour away from their homes... /s

i was literally wandering around my local dollar tree on saturday like "this place is about to be pummeled"

scarlet-rose.bsky.social•20 days ago

I hope Dollar General's CEO feels really shitty about himself dropping over 20k on Trump. I mean he should feel shitty all the time with how badly they treat their employees but still, to have overpriced eggs on his face b/c Humpty Trumpy is about to kill his means to get cheap imported tchotchkes.

Dollar general forced to make everything 1.25...yet there is no inflation? 🤨 it's about to suck Harder than a hoover.
