Tiktok aren't giving Trump loads of money

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 13 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I wouldn't be so sure about that. The CEO has a prominent seat at Trump's inauguration.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago

Yep. Which means TikTok gave Thumper a load of dough and TikTok will be allowed to continue operating here. Zuck is probably not happy since he'd also given him a load of dough to get rid of TikTok.

Trump made saving TikTok a campaign promise.

That's not relevant to the argument about how they could be dangerous for national security.

A fatal mistake for companies who want to do business in the US

It's the Democrats pushing the TikTok ban, Trump loves TikTok.

Edit: Trump originally was the big driver for banning TikTok yes, but since his election win saw a big swing in the younger vote that's being attributed to TikTok his stance has switched and I'll put money on the ban being dropped the instant he gets in.

Except when he wanted it banned during his first term and up until very, very recently when he flip flopped to loving it.

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 1 points 4 hours ago

So you're saying that he now currently loves it? That's what I said!

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Let's compromise on it being bipartisan.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

He wanted to ban it until he thought it helped him with the youth. So no. You are incorrect.

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 1 points 4 hours ago

So he hated it, and now he loves it, but that means he must still hate it? Make your mind up

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

Clearly that user has trouble keeping up with our multiple reality spacetime logic to forget stances Trump supposedly held concurrent with contradictory stances he supposedly holds currently as well as absurd stances he supposedly will hold in the infinite futures.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Trump started this whole thing.
