Congrats Democrats, you dimwits handed Trump another victory.

You never learn.

More flip floppin than an Old Navy in May.

anonymousnews.bsky.social•35 days ago

It was Trump's executive order that banned tiktok.

Why not mention that in the headline too.

davysgirl66.bsky.social•35 days ago

So I stopped watch the news. Are you guys reporting that this will do nothing for the cost of groceries? How about that the grownups KNOW THIS IS A SECURITY ISSUE? But then again assault rifles killing kids in classrooms was never worth an executive order.

rocknorris.bsky.social•35 days ago

Which he can’t do any more than when he tried to ban it by Executive Order in the first place, and the SCOTUS said “nuh-uh.”

lolodevart.bsky.social•35 days ago

no thanks

bradgallant.bsky.social•35 days ago

What was the final sale price?

frankaluz.bsky.social•35 days ago

But the national security !!

We’re not going back

amamazed.bsky.social•35 days ago

Flip... and...FLOP! Elon has already got his cheque book out.

themrneutron.bsky.social•35 days ago

Great, an executive order to undo his previous executive order

What a dipshit

oceanstate1987.bsky.social•35 days ago

It’s amazing how people forgot that this all started when a bunch of people on TikTok got their hands on a bunch of tickets to a 2020 campaign rally Trump had leading to hardly anyone showing up. Can’t recall if he actually canceled the event once they found out what had happened.

lilevilpixie.bsky.social•35 days ago

Of course he did

Isn’t it the president’s job to “uphold the law”???

How much does he want from Shou? He’s going to want government control and we will be just like China and Russia. I swear I hate that man!

dragqueen.racing•35 days ago

BREAKING: President-elect Trump says he will defy both Congress and the Supreme Court with powers that he doesn't have.

fastkat47.bsky.social•35 days ago

Wasn’t he the one who wanted the ban? Maybe one of his rich buds could buy

kealakekua007.bsky.social•35 days ago

He is NOT the president TODAY!!! WTF?

tiger1396.bsky.social•35 days ago

Hopefully, he will do something good.

robairone.bsky.social•35 days ago

- Maybe include the part where Dump started this by initiating a ban on Tik Tok…

robairone.bsky.social•35 days ago

- You know, the information you previously reported on — Seems like that might carry some weight regarding this topic…

kimberlystafford.bsky.social•35 days ago

Fcking clown! 🤡

chickieg.bsky.social•35 days ago

He is such a bad negotiator. TikTok should be left dark so owner would sell!

thistlehoney.bsky.social•35 days ago

Stop saying it was bipartisan. It wasn’t and you know it

majaay420.bsky.social•35 days ago

But it was. Congree folk from both sides of the aisle voted for the law, Pres Biden signed it into law, and the Supreme Coyrt decision abput the law was unanimous.

thistlehoney.bsky.social•35 days ago

The law was tied to a bill to give aide to Ukraine and other important spending priorities. That’s why it was passed

realfakeheadlines.bsky.social•35 days ago

So an executive order now overrules Congress, the Prev President signing the bill, and the Supreme Court ….

swearitoutroy.bsky.social•35 days ago

Thanks but no thanks. We’re not interested in a watered-down, government controlled version of TikTok.

prollyrong.bsky.social•35 days ago

We already had a government controlled version; controlled by the Chinese government.

swearitoutroy.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yeah but I was ok with that because it was on my terms, not Trump.

kcovill.bsky.social•35 days ago

Create “problem” and “solve” “problem.”

trtfx.bsky.social•35 days ago

Problem. Reaction. Solution.

trishantz.bsky.social•35 days ago

Saw this coming. It was all planned.

melindamazoue.bsky.social•35 days ago

Let’s not forget, Trump is the one who called for Tik Tok to be banned here in the US.

tdad2018.bsky.social•35 days ago

Wait…it was his idea to shut it down in the first place

claucp.bsky.social•35 days ago

How could this be an issue to move people/government around the globe? Decide about an app.
I wish they had this diligence in ending human trafficking for instance.

fayee97.bsky.social•35 days ago

The entire app is going to be full of pro-Trump propaganda if that's the case. 🤦🏻‍♀️ And flooded with racists, and Christian Nationalists even more than it already was. 🚮 Tiktok will never be the same.

davysgirl66.bsky.social•35 days ago

But it will (and already has) served its purpose. Dumbing down, distraction and distortion.

inkompetentareb.bsky.social•35 days ago

Trump's judges ban TikTok, he lifts the ban again and all users are grateful to him. But there's certainly no plan behind it.....

jewelsberrier3.bsky.social•35 days ago

pureblueat62.bsky.social•35 days ago

The guy who was dead set against Tik Tok and led the charge of Republicans putting the ban in a bill during his first term now wants it back. Once again he grifts to anyone who will kiss his @ss. He wants to control all media. It’s what criminal dictators do. #Resist

guarerules.bsky.social•35 days ago

Four more years of policy directives via Tweet…yeah.

meekman.bsky.social•35 days ago

This is how the press will cover trump’s abuse of power and disregard for the law. Won’t it be helpful to provide some context of what the law says and how an executive order doesn’t validate a law passed by congress?

pezco.bsky.social•35 days ago

You can't overturn a congressional law put into place upheld by the supreme court by an executive order!

agolftwittler1945.bsky.social•35 days ago

Start fire, put out fire. Classic narcissist.

tande432.bsky.social•35 days ago

So the Supreme Court decision doesn't mean 💩. I guess the abortion ban and all their other decisions shouldn't mean anything either

traysee88.bsky.social•35 days ago

How about including the post that stated he wanted 50% stake

smier-2.bsky.social•35 days ago

Why did he originate the ban in the first place? He’s now acting like he’s saving TickTock. Distracting the gullible at every turn.

starofwesttx.bsky.social•35 days ago

Parents wing your kids off this and other non-fact checking platforms.

steve.czmyt.com•35 days ago

Will be interesting to see if the companies whose app stores removed TikTok (Google, Apple, Amazon, & Microsoft) and the ones who provide support / infrastructure (Oracle) will follow an executive order of Trump's or follow the law.

whyno1.bsky.social•35 days ago

So now the Supreme Court decisions mean nothing??? Only Trump can make the rules!!! Dictatorship has arrived- please Americans stand up

rext.bsky.social•35 days ago

flip flop.

yo526.bsky.social•35 days ago

“Trump backpedals from the TikTok ban he wanted “ There . I fixed your headline .

waderrrrrrr.bsky.social•35 days ago

Now might be the right time to also report that Trump initiated the ban in the first place. It’s a con. And you’re being complicit.

radiobill.bsky.social•35 days ago

No legal basis

jerryaulik.bsky.social•35 days ago

Hmmm… I thought this went to SCOTUS? But you know better?

scooptown.bsky.social•35 days ago

It did. They sided with the ban.

conscientiousice.bsky.social•35 days ago

chibeeb.bsky.social•35 days ago

Well... Will it be the same or somehow tainted?

shorty-jibz.bsky.social•35 days ago

#trump you are the definition of stupid.

bradhussey.bsky.social•35 days ago

How can any media outlet refer to the shitstain in chief as president elect or, as of tomorrow, president, without adding rapey, convicted felon, insurrectionist, traitor, mentally ill? More proof most mainstream media have been castrated completely. Roll over and serve the new boss.

openhwy.bsky.social•35 days ago

He’s also going to pardon other felons for committing treason. You going to report on that?

ryanbclark.bsky.social•35 days ago

Stunt.
All they do is #wagthedog

birckenbachf.bsky.social•35 days ago

Not elected. THIS election was manipulated and stolen!

ajclxvii.bsky.social•35 days ago

He’s turning from orange to red real quick.

pocono.bsky.social•35 days ago

You could explain that he can't do that according to the law

whyno1.bsky.social•35 days ago

Convicted Felon President Trump should be on every article written about him and every country should refer to him as such

spoonfiesta.bsky.social•35 days ago

This is all a stunt so people can get on his side… he’s the reason Tik tok went dark in the first place. Biden should also take blame for it too. Two wings of the same bird 🫡🫡

freckles21.bsky.social•34 days ago

So executive orders out way all laws and the Supreme Court? Asking for a friend.

factsnotprops.bsky.social•35 days ago

Fix your description. Do better. “After Trump called for the ban in 2020”

brit-nee.bsky.social•35 days ago

So, he created the problem… to be the “savior” of said problem. Checks out 🙃

caremeterzero.bsky.social•35 days ago

Now it will be “Trump talk” because I bet the algorithm will favor him. Il never going back to TikTok.

gwalchmai24.bsky.social•35 days ago

So one of his first acts as President will be to commit another crime. I'm shocked.

chelles76.bsky.social•35 days ago

This has nothing to do with national security but everything to do with politicians protecting off there stocks in meta which should be illegal!!!💯

callousedthoughts.bsky.social•35 days ago

Fixing what he broke to make himself a winner. Got to love politics

chelawallace.bsky.social•35 days ago

I fear way too many young voters & businesses will fall for this BS.

colleenckc1.bsky.social•35 days ago

And what does the law say, NBC?

artshealinghearts.bsky.social•35 days ago

If you're not right wing, he won't let you take part in ownership.
Could any of you come up with an apps in America?! You can't even come up with your own alternative but are the smartest America?

artshealinghearts.bsky.social•35 days ago

He is ants his cut and to turn it fascist. Just like I said all along. Y'all are pathetic! He started the ban with a signature in 2020. Now he's holding it for ransom.

cbcolorado.bsky.social•35 days ago

Beyond pathetic that this is the most important task for Trump to do tomorrow, for so many Americans.

cindybanyai.bsky.social•35 days ago

Not that I agree with the Tik Tok ban, but I’m unclear how a president’s executive order could overturn a bill passed by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court.

skytati.bsky.social•35 days ago

Can you inform your viewers that presidential executive orders do not undo US laws?

thespleenagain.bsky.social•35 days ago

Sounds like somebody successfully negotiated the bribe

nashishereforit.bsky.social•35 days ago

What a hero 🥴

jewelsberrier3.bsky.social•35 days ago

Just don’t forget he’s the one that started the ban on Tik Tak. #PoliticalGame

ryanbclark.bsky.social•35 days ago

#wagthedog is all they do

denn26.bsky.social•35 days ago

Trump is one who first suggested the ban. The rest of the government including democrats went along with it. Trump is no hero.

sherlock478.bsky.social•35 days ago

This whole thing has just been a stunt. It's going to fill the app with republican propaganda once/if we get it back.

canamvet.bsky.social•35 days ago

Since when does an executive order supersede a bill that has passed and signed into law? This seems unconstitutional. Executive orders can NOT override Federal Laws.

whyno1.bsky.social•35 days ago

Trump seems to own the Supreme Court and he thinks he is the law The word Dictator comes to mind

willbearsmom.bsky.social•34 days ago

The law includes a provision allowing for a 90 day extension. Of course, the grift is still in, and one of the oligarchs will end up with controlling shares.
