    “We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution”

    An absolutely horrid comment.

        It also shows how the US is split and they love it.

        Any bets on the bribe amount? I’m sure some place is taking bets. Vegas will bet on anything.

            I mean… That just proves my point.

            The feds told them to stop, but they were taking bets on it.

      It’s political genius. How many millions of Americans are going to see that? Politically apathetic Americans who will credit Trump…

        Has everyone forgotten that Trump mainstreamed the ban-TikTok rhetoric?

          Or the fact that for all his faults. Biden said he was not going to enforce the ban. Which means the US government hasn’t blocked or banned tick tock. Which means this is all theatrics on the part of tick tock and Trump. To con gullible Americans into being against their government in the wrong way

            The app stores have taken them off too. The thing is there’s pretty steep fines for not doing it. So while Biden said he’s not going to charge the fines, that doesn’t mean the government isn’t watching. Trump could easily walk in and charge TikTok, Google, and Apple the full fine for that day of operation.

          People who straight up avoid political news probably never knew in the first place.
