I do not allow Chinese to use my IP for free. Most of what they have is illegal. Forged papers do not make that legal.

Corruption at its very finest

Isnt his messing with Tic Toc mess with the ability to negotiate a fair sale?

must see tv

I'm sure theres some way trump will profit

Sounds a bit like Communism to me

Trump is over estimating US vs China. US vs China is power vs superpower since 2020.

NEWS FLASH ⚡️⚡️⚡️ realDonaldTrump is full of shit and one can NEVER take him seriously 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Is there any legal basis for Trump to demand a big commission?

'Trump added that he thought Microsoft would be an acceptable buyer because of its 'high-level' security clearances, which already allow it to do business with the Department of Defense.' If you thought your TikTok data wasn't safe before, wait til the Trump Regime owns it.

This is not about realDonaldTrump. It's about the CCP always looking for payolas and control of Western companies to enter the Chinese market place What's good for CCP is good for Trump's admin But CCP is now crying

He wants to be Putin or Erdogan so badly

That's illegal

Its called “ the virus distraction”

It's called 'tax revenue.'

No he doesn’t, because once in the hands of Microsoft, China would no longer (assuming it does, at all) have access to user data. Not that he has the ability to “ban” it anyway — it would still live on phones even if removed from US App Store.

So, who is Luca Brazzi in the administration?

I agree with China, it's a shakedown. Trump threatened to kill TikTok, now that they will be spared he wants his protection money He needs to worry about the economy and the unemployed. That should be his number one concern during this pandemic....... not TikTok....... unreal.

Why am I not hearing anything from the free market crowd?
