    masterful gambit by the Democrats, handing Trump the option to simply not enforce a ban on an extremely popular app that millions of people use in the US

    if he doesn’t ban Tiktok, can you imagine the scathing think-pieces on the NYT suggesting that Trump is in Xi’s pocket? can you imagine how snarky Stephen Colbert will be? damn, that’s an incredible trap Biden left behind, what a slick operator

      I think it’s the other way around. No one other than Zuckerberg, AIPAC, and a few deep state ghouls actually want TikTok banned. It’s a super unpopular ban. Biden is now letting Trump claim the credit for actually allowing TikTok to stay around.
