Is he not the very same president who tried to ban it before?

[–] orclev 57 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Yes, but now the cheque cleared. Or he's just trying to suck up to Xi, you know one or the other.

Or he can use it and adjust the algorithms to promote himself. Probably use for surveillance too

"Buy my commemorative coins, the best coins, for the new present the true present, there shouldn't have been another one but there was and that's ok we will let them do that but they shouldn't have done it but it's ok because I'm back now on tictoc shop" - DJ Trump

Probably both!

[–] xc2215x 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I remember him wanting to ban it before.

Inconsistency is the only thing Trump can be counted on to do reliably.

TikTok!? Who gives a shit? How about save Palestine first?

If you were under the illusion that Trump is going to improve the situation for the Palestinians in any way, I have a bridge to sell you...

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 days ago

It's delusional to think he was ever going to do anything but accelerate the genocide.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago

He is going to help pave over Palestine, not save it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

They're closely related issues. Zios have been trying to ban TikTok because of the unfiltered coverage of Palestine.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

TikTok is more important apparently.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

He definitely not going to do that

What part is good? That he vowed to force ownership into U.S. hands for security reasons, or that now he vowed to stop himself?
