Tonight, lawless anti-American tyrant Donald Trump has announced that he’ll ban social media app TikTok from the USA via an executive order or emergency economic powers as soon as tomorrow. This came on the heels of news that Microsoft wants to buy TikTok’s US operations from ByteDance.
There ought to be lawsuits and resistance against this foolish order!
President Trump on Friday said he plans to ban the social media platform TikTok from operating in the United States.
“As far as TikTok is concerned, we’re banning them from the United States,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
The president said he could use emergency economic powers or an executive order as early as Saturday to officially bar the Chinese-owned company from the U.S. He signaled he was not supportive of allowing an American company to acquire TikTok.
TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

President Donald Trump on Friday told reporters he will act as soon as Saturday to ban Chinese-owned video app TikTok from the United States, NBC News reported.
Trump made the comments while chatting with reporters on Air Force One.
“As far as TikTok is concerned we’re banning them from the United States,” Trump said.
Trump did not specify whether he will act through an executive order, or another method such as a designation.
“Well, I have that authority. I can do it with an executive order or that,” Trump said.
This move is pure fascist retaliation for the app’s users causing several seats at his Tulsa rally to go empty and also due to Kellyanne and George Conway’s daughter Claudia’s outspoken anti-Trump activism on the app. This is yet more proof that the out-of-touch enemy of the Constitution needs to resign or be voted out this fall!
