He was pretty much completely against TikTok awhile back. Now that the House wants to force a sale of TikTok, he suddenly does a 180 and apparently vouches for TikTok while redirecting attention to the misdeeds of Facebook.
Wowowow. Another classic Trump move?
Has TikTok's future now been determined and "secured" such that it isn't a threat anymore? There's been talks of Mnuchin setting up an investor's fund to buy TikTok. We'll see how that plays out.
I see a lot of people online taking the opportunity to say Trump has basically betrayed fellow conservatives and sold out to the Chinese over TikTok to gain funding from the billionaires who own Bytedance.
Could these people be missing the fact that there's a good portion of Trump's support base who uses, could potentially use, or could be converted from current TikTok users?
A lot of TikTok users are pissed right now and they have a genuine point. Out of all the issues the elected officials can agree upon that are absolutely vital to the survival of their nation and the quality of their lives, they choose TikTok. A fun platform where a lot of people get information and have found a voice at.
The political payoff of being for the TikTok ban when it actually happen is probably something like 1 to 9. Meaning you'll gain 1 supporter for every 9 you lose. And most of that one were probably already going to choose Trump anyways.
The play is simple. Take the current anger from the TikTok upheaval and redirect it onto Zuckerberg (next target). The premise is that TikTok is secure from Trump's National Security perspective.
Simple, cunning and effective. All upside for Trump from his tweet.
...the Mossad hates tic toc...
Which is exactly where the eruption of anger from this ban is going to land. How the next part plays out is anybody's guess. But I'm eagerly watching
...indeed...
The "conservatives" against Trump on this are RINOs.
He is using it to red pill zoomers that love tictok.
Should be good for 5-10 million votes.
In addition to that, it may end up redirecting people to other platforms. X perhaps. It also has put a spotlight, intentionally or unintentionally, (I suspect the former) on Israel.
Another consideration is what if outlawing TicTok sets a president they could use to shutdown Trump's Truthsocial by arbitrarily saying it was in cahoots with Russia?
The ownership is American. But if they somehow managed that, then that opens an entirely new can of worms that can be directed towards Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft and just about any company you'd want to go after.
"The ownership is American".
" The ownership" == Americans the Regime, who supports this bill, claims are dangerous insurrectionists, aligned with Putin, who are seeking to destroy our democracy.
In fact, in his SOTU address, Biden said the Americans who own Truth Social "have a knife at our country's throat.
So no problemo because " the ownership is American"?
I have felt that between the time Trump was attacking TikTok originally, to now, something has changed in TikTok. It is one of the most powerful redpill platform for youngsters and there is much less filtering and political correctness there.
I think things happened behind the scenes (all good things happen behind the scenes) that transferred control of TikTok to WHs, somehow.
Now, the Cabal has realised it and trying to draft this new bill with the intention of actually taking back control of TikTok.
Again, these kinds of chess moves are nothing but distractions to keep the Cabal expending energy in unnecessary fights.
Although the website language in this bill is worrying, I have totally reassessed my views on this and realize the powerful boomerang effect that could come into play.

Recognizing a problem =/= accepting the Regimes solution.
Remember the Regimes recent bill they claimed was a solution to the border crisis?
Remember President Trump publicly urged Congress to reject the Regimes "Border Security" bill?
Did President Trumps opposition to THAT "Border Security" bill == a "flip" on border security?
As President Trump said, "NO bill is better than a BAD bill.
That applies to the Regimes Border Security bill, the bill to ban TikTok and many other bills.
Examples:
Did Obama's " Affordable Care" bill make healthcare more affordable?
Was the Patriot Act a patriotic solution to the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Bottom line, this latest PsyWar campaign around TikTok is providing fascinating Intel around who is aligned with who and/or how PsyWar Savvy people are right now.
