The President went from “I’m banning tiktok” to “I approve of the deal”. It was never banned, it was never stopped from being downloaded. Nothing. He wrote tweets and got headlines and even signed an executive order saying he would ban it if it didn't get sold...
...so did jt get sold? Partially yes, 20% of the company is being sold to Walmart and Oracle (want details ask the WSJ this tweet isn't about that). What actually changed? 0, absolutely nothing. Again and again this president lies to his blind followers.
I had many a debate with his followers about this. I tried to explain that what he was trying to do would never hold up because there was no legal way to do this. They said well, we'll see when the deadline hits. It came and went and here we are.
He approves of the deal? The deal where the Chinese government still owns 80% of the company and no privacy settings have changed? Was this a victory? I've said it a dozen times. He is the best at controlling the headlines in a world where nobody reads the article. #votehimOUT
