Washington President Donald Trump issued an executive order Friday evening directing ByteDance, the Chinese-owned parent company of TikTok, to divest interest in the app's US operations within the next 90 days.
Trump explained in the order that he believes there is"credible evidence" that ByteDance"might take action that threatens to impair the national security of the United States" following the company's acquisition of the social media app Musical.ly.The step marks just the latest twist in the dramatic back and forth between the popular video app and the President after he declared last month that he would ban TikTok from operating in the US.
Who is Trump to order other nations to do what he wants
Yeah only American tech firms are allowed to spy!
TomWong93767868 CCP is not friend of democracy, human rights or rule of law. The only friends China has is the dollar and the euro. We need to stop their access to our economy, culture and live style.
WHEN YOU'RE PUNKED BY TIK TOK AND TEENAGERS!! EXPECTED 60,000 & ONLY 6000 SHOWED UP❣ 😂😂😂
This is absurd. He did this because of the positive influence of Tiktok users who are not supporting him.
Did those MEAN grownups think LittleDonnie wd forget how they REALLY HURT his feewings by spoiling his Tulsa Hate Party? NO WAY he never forgets a grudge.
Dictators do this kind of things
Flexing the Executive Privilege muscle will surely lead to a tear in the fabric of our Demicracy. Time for ALL of Congress to do the job our forefathers fought so hard to attain!
In simple words: American companies such as YouTube and Insta can not complete with Tic Tok so you either sell to american cos. or we will band you. Same as 5G is bad till american Cos. catch up.
Wow! Look at CNN stepping up and using the “L” word!! Better late than never. Now every time he’s lies say “Trump LIED”!! You’ll be busy but you’ll be right and I might start watching your channel again! Thank you!!
He 45 didn’t divest his properties/holdings, it’s to funny he wants to direct another company to do so. The old “do as I say, not as I do”, routine. No one will be surprised.But the days are of this madness are slowing coming to an end. 11/3/2020 make sure you vote. It matters!
He's more concerned with social media than a global pandemic and resulting economic catastrophe.
Executive Orders Come From Republican President Mark Patrick Seymour Only Who Has Already Executive Ordered Trump To Be Taken Into Federal Custody Immediately
President Trump please investigate the arrest of Millie Weaver. Wray has been playing politics again as usual. BTW sack wray as well.
There are more important issues to resolve

Shouldn't we require the inhabitant to divest himself from his businesses to avoid a conflict?
Oh nooo... “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f--k things up,” one Democrat who spoke to former president Obama recalled him saying.

Good job Pres Trump
violation of private property is unconsistutioanl
They should shred the contracts they have with Ivanka and mail them to the vile bastard
He throws these Executive orders out like waving a magic wand. No one is listening and no one cares.
This is all because a group of kids got the best of him. Nothing else. What a whineass.
I thought Republicans were for less government interference in business.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really
He's a dictator. Do whatever you can to make sure he does not have his way. Don't let America become what Africa is struggling to denounce.
China bad. Mmkay?
We will TRUMPHANT!!!
Did you bother to point out that even China has banned them, too!! Because they’re using the app to spy on the governments. Stop printing your lies.
Priorities
cnn fox msnbc
Who is pulling his strings? He's being paid a commission by whoever profits from his bs.
Best for last.
See he asked to divest instead of getting out of the country. He knows it will create good revenue for the company and also US. So basically Chinese products still wins
Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me
Ok so acording to Drumpf and US govt, TikTok is a spy app under chinese gov control. My question is: did they showed any evidence about what they are claiming ? Or is another WMD thing? PS: dont show me breitbart or other websites like that for evidence. Kkthx
moreover, if it is a genuine National Sercurity problem to US. Trump should just ask Tik Tok to close are once. But no, Trunp just want to scam more money or distract from all the mishandling of COVID-19. This is just a bully call.
Next, Trump will probably confiscate Tik Tok if Chairman Xi still not talk to him and beg. What a petty man!
Sadly there is much ugliness in the world. Amazing that the Trump could achieve the UAE/Israel Abraham Peace Deal. This achievement could cement a lasting peace in the ME! Nobel Peace Prize. Not .. lib group would never go there.
Where's your 24/7 coverage of this sweet little 5 year olds murder in Wilson, NC? He was riding his bike in his own yard and a black man came up and executed him in front of sisters for no reason other than his skin color. Can start riots with that, huh? CannonsLifeMattered
He cant beat China ...
Just let Drumpf ban TikTok. How hes gona do it ? China style ? Then just use a damn VPN or Tor to access TikTok. Not a biggie lol
report on the news for ounce Cannon Hinnant SayHisName
He is a robber
tell that tangerine nonce to go do himself.
Shutdown TikTok. It is like digital opioids to the younger generation. Send a message to VCs that any investments in Chinese startups that hurt America will be taken to ZERO.
Another order given by the dictator Trump.
Protests in SouthKorea today too, the whole of Korea, left and right wing rally against Dictator calling for impeachment of President alleged to be Communist. southKoreadictator main stream controlled by the dictator. Watch millions live protests in South Korea on YouTube
realdonaldtrump You won’t be president in 90 days, caretaker government
TikTok might be a threat. But the intel report should have many other serious issues. Is Donald working on them? That's more siginificant for America.
I am disappointed that Barcelona showed the worst performance in the history of the club in the Champions League The 8:2 loss to Munich was Barcelona Messi to Argentina and Suarez to Uruguay immediately. I applaud Munich for being booked for the multi-goal of the Levandowski's.👏
What about I Phone made in china
OMG - Tell me it's not true!!
Look how the uk treats its old people
Good! Thank you POTUS for protecting America! Trump2020 LatinosForTrump 🇺🇸🇺🇸
baby strong news Japanese Prime Minister Abe sent tribute to Yasukuni war criminals from 2013 to 2020 today and kept his courtesy. However, for Koreans in neighboring countries, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan-
quote: 'including allowing US government employees to have access 'to all premises and facilities' of ByteDance, TikTok and their subsidiaries within the US' isn't this what Trump hates that China 'could' do? absolute hypocrite. who's stopping the US from getting to the data.
When someone with the morals of a highwayman occupies high office . This tactless brigandage will hurt the notion of a just society for many years to come.
MSM still don’t get it. The more you attack Trump the more voters he will have. People always like the underdog to win. Same mistake 2016, birther, racist. Biggest problem is democrats offering a candidate that's more dirty than Trump.
SayHisName YOU COWARDS
?
Trump is great. Info goes to communist China government and can be used for many anti American purposes. Trump looks after security of America and Americans.
This is after the election.
We had a republican healthcare plan in two weeks 3 weeks ago.
Trump in the last three months has created more jobs than obozo Biden did in eight years. If you watch CNN you would never know. CNN is fake news.
I'd laugh if China tore up the contracts they have with him & his daughter.😂
Darius Nathaniel Sessoms is a CNN prodigy
He can do the same thing to any company he does not like 👎
So where are all the people who say government shouldn’t have its hand in the dealings of private businesses?
paper tiger
👉🏾This boy does not like the Chinese in his life has he loved someone left himself.👏🏾👏🏾👉🏾😎👍🏾🏆
Just wait til Biden issues executive orders dismantling trump businesses 🙃
Who gives a fuck about TikTok during a pandemic. Get this guy out of here
Why? Is Dumpy now a dictator, actually he does seem to resemble Nero.....
sarahcpr you’ve obviously hit a nerve with the insecure guy. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Or...?
Who the heck does this guy think he is?
Cnn is jerk news and Disrespect news I ever see.. I think Cnn need closed down... I lost a respect for CNN news..
ShadowGate
While the country continues to get sick and die! What a looser!
Can he do that?
I did a tik tok once. Now China owns my soul
Since when can't a king tell his subjects where to invest
Excellent idea
I'm not a trump supporter or a republican. But I still don't like tiktok.
From 45-day-buyout to 90-day “divest investment”, it seems Trump is backing off.
They should just do nothing for 90 days and then tell Trump they haven’t received his order yet because of the delays he’s causing at the USPS.
Trump will no longer be president in 90 days.
He’s just trying to cause as much chaos as he possibly can
Hollow threats.
Who is the Allah؟
How the phuck is that possible?!
81 days till trump is fired
Imperialism
Funny he didnt even careTIC TOC existed until sarahcpr 🤣😂
Trump King
Trump is a bad A, and will do what no one else has the courage to do! GodBlessAmerica GODBLESSPRESIDENTTRUMP
Ok. Now he wants to control companies and foreign governments. Hem......dictator Trump?
Trump is amazing! We need to decouple from these dishonest China-based companies that are fronts for the Chinese government Trump2020
Many years ago, US government command GE to purchase French company Alstom. Now it's the same story. US is the biggest threat to world peace.
All because of his Tulsa rally prank. Lol. So transparent
This. THIS is the most important task to deal with today. TrumpFailedAmerica
And, just how much power does a Trump 'executive order' have over a Chinese owned company have?
Does the president have that authority?
he's still pissed because they sabotaged his 'Daddy needs love' rally in Tulsa......
Imagine trying to put your focus on a non-issue when you have 170,000 + American deaths, the clown said that it's at war against an invisible enemy. Well it looks like he's been waving the white flag for too damn long, vote that son of a B out in November.
As a normal HongKonger, we know that TikTok is a CCP spyware for long time.
CannonHinnant
Another threat he can’t Legally enforce. Snore
Trump to support Microsoft's bid to acquire TikTok's American operations if US got ' substantial portion ' of the proceeds.
This is such an embarrassment
Good. hes for America unlike The Chinese propaganda machine called CNN.
globaltimesnews HuXijin_GT
WHNSC I don't use TikTok, but does anyone else feel like the only information China is going to get out of us is popular culture?
It’s about time!
It seems that China will impose sanctions on the United States if TikTok is restricted.
such a Bunker Baby....person, woman, man, camera, TV
Wasn’t it 45 days last week? Trump backing out already?
Cool. Cool cool cool.
Can he do that?
The one single thing Trump has been right about is China. Too bad we can't get a democratic president who is as harsh or harsher on those CCP assholes
What happened to the 45 days he spouted?
Executive order my ass!!
