TikTok Will Close in U.S. If Not Sold by Sept. 15: Trump
Aug.03 — President Donald Trump said TikTok will have to close in the U.S. by Sept. 15 — unless there’s a deal to sell the social network’s domestic operations to Microsoft Corp. or another U.S. company. Trump says the government should be paid as part of the deal. He spoke today.

Donald Trump is out to make a profit even in this. How is it possible the United States Treasury deserves cash out of this deal? Do we own some share of it?

He’s using TikTok to divert everyone’s attention away from insider trading at Eastman Kodak. Smoke and mirrors everywhere. Americans just got trumped by the Don. Trump2020.

Wait… “The treasury of the United States gets a lotta money”. What does it mean? It’s a private divestiture forced by the Trump admin. How come the money goes to the government.

Watch China retaliate. This is becoming so unhealthy. This act belongs to TV, not a government.

Let TikTok die. From CCP atrocities, we learned they harvest their citizen organs, use slave labor, operates concentration camps; Google supposedly declined to help US military to help keep servicemen safe, but worked with communist China AI program instead. These big tech companies only care about money like the Communist China care about control and money. I’m waiting to buy a MacBook and avoid supporting Microsoft, Google and not buy Communist China products. I m growing a garden, avoid being a consumer and not invest in the stock market (Wallstreet knew the CCP is stealing our intellectual rights by force technology transfer but listed CCP companies on our stock market stealing millions from Americans investors ie. Luckin coffee, Kinggold fake gold) etc.

Imagine if the tiktokers moved on to our platform…that would make a depressing and preternatural YouTube. Too many children overflowing YouTube, that would probably overrun YouTube services, I hope they don’t move on to YouTube which is why I don’t support the tiktok ban, I’m not a fan of tiktok at all, but I feel like tiktok is it’s own and no other app can replicate it.Imagine if they moved on to our platform…that would make a depressing and preternatural YouTube.

So no, we should not ban the app.

@Joseph Stalin how do you know tik tok users don’t use all other social media outlets already? Most teens I know already do. So your in favor of tik tok because u think teens will crowd all other platforms, n I guess your ok with china spying on Americans

hilarious, folks been talking about TikTok for months now, “China owns it” “don’t trust it”, etc, now he goes after it, “oh, it’s a diversion”, “he a clown”, amazing how this dude can always take something people attack and turn people for it, when he attacks it. This dude has really changed the dynamic of how folks react. What happens when you got a person that actually represents the actually public, he’s obsessed with social media and so are so many people now, etc.
