How utterly pathetic. TikTok has announced that dear leader, Supreme Leader Donald Trump has saved TikTok, even though Donald Trump was the one who declared that it should be banned. Let me really break down this whole TikTok thing so you understand it. Donald Trump was the person who demanded that TikTok be banned. He issued an executive order back in 2020 when he was still in office.
All of the Republicans in the Senate pushed for TikTok to be banned. They asked for some Democrats to join him. They made findings. that TikTok could be conducting counter surveillance against United States citizens. They could be breaching data security, that the algorithm posed a danger. I'm just giving you the facts. That's the findings that were made by the Senate.
This was pushed by Republicans. And as recently as about a year and a half ago, You had Donald Trump and Don Jr. again saying that TikTok needs to be banned. It should be banned. And now somehow Democrats were getting blamed for it and Donald Trump was being praised by TikTok for saving it. This is incredibly dystopian. This would make 1984 George Orwell. Be like, what are we talking about here?
Let me just break down what happened here. OK, so this is what TikTok posts. They go, thanks for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump's effort, TikTok is back in the U.S. You can continue to create, share and discover all of these things that you love on TikTok. So TikTok basically took itself down for 24 hours. even though there was no reason to do that.
I mean, President Biden said that he was not going to enforce any ban because he was leaving office. He'd leave it to Donald Trump. But TikTok wanted to deliver for Donald Trump a win so they can say Trump was our savior. Look what Trump did. As our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, points out, So TikTok shut down their app for one day, then turned it back on, thanking Donald Trump.
What an obvious scam this was. Disgusting on the part of TikTok owners, Trump and all his sycophants who reversed their position on it one second after he did it for no other reason. then he didn't. So when you would access TikTok, when they took it down for the day, again, this is the Kim Jong-un CCP style propaganda that you've seen places, but this is what they put on TikTok.
Um, when you, when you go on, it says a law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U S unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now, by the way, you could have still used TikTok. Again, Biden said he was not going to enforce the ban. He would leave it to Donald Trump to decide. But TikTok did this to play the victim and to say, look, Donald Trump saved it.
