Another Major Trump Flip-Flop

[placeholder]

Remember when Donald Trump fulminated against Tik-Tok and wanted it banned?

 

 

Trump Asks Supreme Court to Delay TikTok Ban So He Can Weigh in After He Takes Office

 

Trump Signs Executive Order That Will Effectively Ban Use Of TikTok In the U.S.

President Trump on Thursday invoked his emergency economic powers to impose broad sanctions against TikTok, a move that steps up pressure on the Chinese-owned app to sell its U.S. assets to an American company.

In the order, which takes effect in 45 days, any transactions between TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, and U.S. citizens will be outlawed for national security reasons.

In practice, experts told NPR the order likely will mean the viral video service could no longer receive advertising from American companies and the app could be removed from Apple and Google's app stores.

Then came this:

 

When the Biden administration said in March that it supported legislation that could ban TikTok, Tony Sayegh jumped into action.

Sayegh, the head of public affairs at one of TikTok’s biggest investors, had become an unofficial adviser to the Chinese-owned social-media giant as it navigates survival in the geopolitical crosshairs of the world’s two superpowers.

He turned to a seemingly unlikely potential savior for TikTok: Donald Trump, then the presumptive Republican nominee for president, who had initiated the effort to ban TikTok in his first term. Sayegh started back-channeling to Trump’s closest advisers, making the case that it was foolish to hand wins to both President Biden, who would appear tough on China, and Meta Platforms, which Trump believed had hurt his re-election bid in 2020...

“If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business,” Trump posted on his social-media network Truth Social, referring to Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg with a Yiddish obscenity.

Then this:

Trump Asks Supreme Court to Delay TikTok Ban So He Can Weigh in After He Takes Office

President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue.

The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court, in which the company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by Jan. 19 while the government emphasized its position that the statute is needed to eliminate a national security risk.

And now this:

Trump says it could be worth keeping TikTok in US for a little while

"I think we're going to have to start thinking because, you know, we did go on TikTok, and we had a great response with billions of views, billions and billions of views," Trump told the crowd at AmericaFest, an annual gathering organized by conservative group Turning Point.
"They brought me a chart, and it was a record, and it was so beautiful to see, and as I looked at it, I said, 'Maybe we gotta keep this sucker around for a little while'," he said.
Trump met with TikTok's CEO on Monday.

A lot of sour grapes in the anti Trump camp. I suppose we are in for 4 more years of whining about Trump and seizing on every little mistake he makes. Makes me wonder how they managed to ignore that Biden's brain was AWOL.

Yes, if only the media did their reported on both sides equally, or from a neutral stance.

He got elected bacause people were fed up with the way things are. Trump got practically the same amount of votes in the cheated election of 2020, so tiktoc didn't matter, if anything X helped by showing what the left tried to censor and ms media ignored.

With Trump it's always about the money, it's never about the principle of the thing, it's never about truth, it's never about integrity, it's never about honor. It's always about the almighty dollar. 

 

Money is his God.

You're hurting MAGA feelings by telling them what any foreign spy knows.

Trump can be bought.

Cheap.

He's like a puppy.

Pet him on the head and he follows you home.

But what does that tell you about Trump voters? I mean, I have heard and read plenty of stories already about Trump voters having buyer’s remorse. The ‘Farmers for Trump’ who apparently are just now realizing that Trump is going to ruin them, because he’s going to deport half (or all of) their workforce. This ‘family man’ from Georgia who voted for Trump, and his daughter is married to an illegal alien. Guess what’s going to happen to his son in law? So many latinos who voted for Trump and now they’re starting to worry Trump is going deport half their family. So many poor people who voted for Trump, and now they’re scared he’s going to cut their social security, medicare, medicaid and whatnot.

And it’s not as if Trump hasn’t been up front about his plans, it was pretty clear to anyone with half a brain what he’s going to do. I really can not begin to understand why these people voted for Trump and are now scared it’s going to come back to bite them in the @ss. Hopefully it will teach them to think a little harder next time they get to vote. If there is a next time….

Where is the money in deporting millions of illegals? He left office last time with far less money than he started his term with, most of the others lined their pockets, Obama was the worst.

They didn't vote*for* Trump, they voted*against* the incumbents, re: affordability crisis in out of control inflation driving up housing prices, homelessness, etc.

If Trump cuts SS in order to give Musk tax cuts, he better have a hell of a propaganda program because old people will be pissed in 28 and throw the incumbents out again.

Trump wants to ban Tik Tok: hes a scumbag

Trump doesnt want to ban Tik Tok: he is a scumbag.

 

Donald Trump surely deranges some folks. Its the result of incipient mental illness exacerbated by the Socialists, which is a movement rife with mental illness ab initio.

You're talking about a guy who refused to put his businesses into a blind trust. Whose resort charged retail rates to Secret Service agents. Who proposed having his Doral resort play host to the G7? Whose resort jacked up the membership price after he was elected president. Who scuttled the plans to move the FBI building that just coincidentally would leave a prime space vacant for a hotel that could compete with his.

The liberal tears continue to flow, you lost because your clueless candidate was not democratically selected and who then wasted over 1.5 BILLION dollars without ever answering a question. Roll on Jan 20th

Blindly supporting Trump no matter what he does, how many times he flip flops, forgiving all his criminal acts is also a sort of a mental illness. So I don't think there's much, if any difference between your side, and those you're debating with.

 

But that's the World we live in now. In the past we were laughing at "Thai models" of air conditioners or amplifiers, having only OFF and MAX setting in cartoons, but this is what mentality of many people is now. There's no more grayscales, only black or white. One side or opposing side, with nothing in between. And those are getting more and more distanced and radicalized.

You've heard fictional stories from your political side  about buyer remorse, I noticed in your story about a 'family man' you totally ignore the fact she married and ILLEGAL ALIEN, she should have been aware of the risks. However I think the whole thing is fabricated, in fact your whole comment is made up nonsense

That’s rich, coming from someone who lives in a self-created alternative universe and totally ignores reality.

 

Here are some examples of buyer’s remorse. You can find plenty (plenty!) more if you just google for five seconds:

Great links🙄, 2 opinion pieces, 1  sentence about a focus group repeated, is that all you have as proof of 'buyers remorse' ?

 

Lets get back to your story, so you'd take the side of the 'family man' who's daughter married an illegal alien, who broke the law, rather then than take the side of someone who is trying to uphold the law?

Basically your hatred of Trump means you approve of people breaking the law
