Tiktok aren't giving Trump loads of money

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year 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 1 year 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.

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

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

Trump made saving TikTok a campaign promise.

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 0 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Trump started this whole thing.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year 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.

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 0 points 1 year 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 1 points 1 year ago

Let's compromise on it being bipartisan.

[–] Mellibird@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

If I recall correctly, it's a lie being pushed that he won amongst the younger generation when he actually did not. I believe the last thing I read is that he lost the young vote by 11 points. So that's a lie that he's pushing for some reason or other.
