What was the point

Trump changed his opinion on tiktok.

5 years ago Trump hated tiktok but a year ago he said it was a great tool (he was using it during his campaign). Politicians do change their mind, Obama was anti-gay marriage when he got elected then switched to being pro-gay marriage.

It was a publicity stunt. Trump changed his mind during the election campaign immediately after meeting with Jeff Yass, a majorTrump donor who happens to own 20% of ByteDance. Trump signed the original order in 2020. When the deal he was working on fell through, he pushed the deadline back into Biden’s presidency. Then. It became locked up in the courts. When the SCOTUS ruling came down, Biden said he wouldn’t enforce it. So for Shou to praise and credit Trump was totally farcical.

Because now Facebook has a TikToc account. FB been banned in China. This was part of the deal, which is why all those GOP losers been buying Meta stock over the past few months. It was all planned.

Trump doesn't hate Tiktok. He loves anything that may increase his wealth, influence, or power.
