Summary

Donald Trump met with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew at Mar-a-Lago to discuss the app’s future amid a looming U.S. ban.

A federal law signed by President Biden would ban TikTok by January 19 unless its Chinese ownership divests.

TikTok has appealed to the Supreme Court to block the law, while Biden could issue a 90-day reprieve.

Trump, previously critical of TikTok, has softened his stance, citing the app’s role in his youth outreach.

The bipartisan push for a ban centers on concerns over data privacy and content manipulation.

    So what’s likely happening is Trump is asking how much money Winne the Pooh will give him to not do anything when they invade Taiwan via the CEO of their most successful spyware, propaganda, and cultural power platform.

    wasn’t the whole ban thing his fucking idea in the first place?

    he must just be pissed it is biden’s signature on the legislation to do it and not his. since obama or biden did it, it must be undone.

    so he’s gonna unban it (for a fee, of course, that the government won’t ever touch), and then ban it later.
