Yes, this exposes Trump as self serving fraud, but the reason Tik Tok was being banned was that the Chinese own it and are suspected of using it for clandestine purposes. Trump needs to explain this.

If you do just a bit of digging you’ll find that Bytedance is at least 50% American owned…and by who? Some slimy friend of 47 by the name of Yass.

Meta spent 7.5 mil lobbying congress to kill tiktok because it’s hurting his bottom line…a lot!
