Tik Tok is just flattering Trump by saying he will save the US from Biden. The SCC case decided just last Friday, with Biden promissing not to enforce it, were events that unfolded by their own inertia. Tik Tok users by definition not wanting the ban, is the political probletunity that Tik Tok can deliver to Trump as a win for him, through flattery. It's only an error, with no political gains, after election is decided to zionist glee.
All Trump’s order does is protect TikTok from the fines and liability. If Biden didn’t intend to enforce, he could’ve done the same. He didn’t.
ok. He just said "it will be on a Sunday, with Monday holiday. Just let Trump decide everything." I did not really know about the "fines provision", but a mix of PR stunt, and clarity on being scot free, can still have some political basis. There will now be politics about Trump being pro Chinese disinformation, while social media users are grateful to not be banned, and even if that is slam dunk politics in congress, it doesn't actually play for the "fascist side" on this issue.
