President Donald Trump on Thursday issued an executive order that would ban the social media app TikTok from operating in the US in 45 days if it is not sold by its Chinese parent company ByteDance.

The order does not state that a certain amount of money from the sale needs to be sent to the US Treasury Department, which the President has been insisting on for several days.The order alleges that TikTok"automatically captures vast swaths of information from its users, including Internet and other network activity information such as location data and browsing and search histories.

How?

Só os USA podem saber tudo sobre vc através do seu celular que mesmo desligado lhe monitora! Vá catar coquinho Trump!

He needs to extend his orange makeup in his wrinkles and behind the ears for these sideways photos. These photos really show how much he has plastered on.

The US answer to Bytedance's Chinese spies is Byteme.

Good luck.

I think USA has a significant amount of apps around the world. Please don’t think for a second we are not spying on everyone through those applications... China-1; USA-100k😎

What’s the difference between China spying on you and a US company?

Paranoia self destroyer

Isn't that a private company? I thought he was a Republican?

Great move. Have heard some bad stories about this group. Thank you

Sounds pretty petty to me plus making a threat towards a company for really no reason whatsoever to force them to sale their company to a U.S company , not sure what really is going on here much bigger things to worry about than an App

What an idiot

That is such a horrible paint job. Dude wash your face and get a haircut

Trump is out of his mind. Who has been using social media to spread false information and theories more than himself? He gets upset when he is paid back in his own coin. That is what bullies do & we are truly fed up with him. Counting the days to Nov. & out he goes with his lies!

Trump is such a vindictive liar he is pissed off with Tiktok because he likes to ruin those who get successful and work against his criminal agenda.

Thank you President Trump! This is just being fair while CCP bans Whatsapp, Youtube and Google. I just hope my Chinese friends will not need VPN to access these APPs soon. Some if them were arrested for using VPN so... I really appreciate what you did!

Somehow this just scares me after watching Fahrenheit 451 last night.

As Americans our personal and private information is protected by law. It is our elected governments responsibility to hold companies that intentionally exploit our rights responsible. We need to teach our kids that not all “fun” apps are safe apps.

Vin.

Simply Amazing! During a crisis, POTUS has time to worry about a music and dancing app.

He’s put more effort trying to get rid of TikTok than he has limiting the spread of Covid priorities

Y'know, his actions remind me of a certain German that was around in the 1930's. The parallels are scary, and the fact that there are so many autonomous people who blindly support him worries me.

Yep, totally a priority. . Glad he’s our president

Trump golfs while Americans are dying on his watch.trump

what a baby realDonaldTrump is. what about ZTE the other company you banned then changed your mind when Barbie wanted patents and got same day, by the way.

President Trump has done more to stop TikTok than he did to stop Covid-19

Good

That is not true he said he's going to give them 45 days CNN there's nothing but lies make up crap about other people but Twitter keeps protecting

How much equity in Microsoft is he promised for absolutely giving them so much leverage

Thank you Mr President. Destroyed them all.

What a crybaby. Americans dying everyday from Covid and THIS is his priority. 🖕🏼 realDonaldTrump

CNN have you settled any 100 million dollars defamation laws suit lately.. asking for a friend.

It's our dream!!! dv2020 dv2020winners wedeserveachance JoeByeDon

There’s something wrong, if not illegal about banning a social media expression platform unless it’s sold to multinational corporate giant.

757747544 Good job President Trump

Lol y’all wanna control everything that you cannot create

I’m old enough to remember when it was entirely improper for presidents of the U.S. to directly influence the outcome of private business deals.

Great news. As is proven over & over again. Anything the cheating demoncrats want is extremely bad perverse fir the USA. Time to disband the new radical unpatriotic, terrorist sadist democrats. They’re stinking up the place.👎🏻🐀

Can we all agree that this is bullying? I mean, it’s basically “give me your lunch money or I’ll beat you senseless”. In a financial way 🤔

just trying to get back at them for whst happened to his rally where he said he had a million request for tickets and 6900 showed up

ULTIMATUM vs LUDICROUS: Software monopoly may not be essential to control market forces.

realDonaldTrump :'I also have signed an EO that the sun rise in the north and set in the south starting next week.'

Next Facebook

Probably the only good thing trump has done.

fake news media

Trying to bully another company so a local company can swoop in and buy it cheaply ....smooth

I really appreciate Trump! He’s representing the American bullying culture very accurately! Like just casually blackmailing a whole country with an executive order

Dictatorship? Banarepublic?

China, if you're listening release any info about : unredacted Mueller report, any Russian payments to Trump org or Trump himself, transcripts of any conversations between Trump family and Saudia Arabia and/Turkey. Thanks!

Madness

Orange U TAN

Can you still run it using a VPN?

Great work Trump! You just continued putting a nail in your coffin. There will be a million more pissed off voters! Can’t wait to see you in handcuffs! realDonaldTrump

I'm not American but it seems Y'all are forgetting whatsapp is banned in China....

How can some folk in this thread not see right through this action? The man is first and foremost a ruthless businessman and Tik Tok right now is huge. This is so much less about getting back at the Chinese and so much more about the mighty dollar.

PATHETIC CHILD JUST BECAUSE THEY TRASHED HIS TULSA RALLY. HE HAS NOW LOST ALL THE YOUNG PEOPLE VOTES. MAN IS A MADMAN

And that’s on free market and shit... 😂

How the hell can he force a sale of a company just cuz he mad at tik tok? Petty fool. He really thinks he is all powerful. In his feeble mind! How can we stop him?

He is really butthurt from his failed rally.

Kids and young adults are hating him

This is just his opinion no proof. This is gigantic bullshit!

Honestly if I was the Chinese, Id say 'Fluck YOU!'

He just motivated all the tik tok kids to vote.....😂🤣🤣😂 tiktok

does this mean that capitalism and trust in the free market are also banned or

Unathi_Kwaza

😳😂😂 so long trump to your votes by young people they will surely vote against you know 🙏🏻

Well this isn't going to go well.

As we still wait for more PPE...

I'm getting so confused by these daily, hourly tantrum threats. My civics class was awhile ago, so someone please tell me. CAN HE DO THIS? I thought he was busy enough pardoning traitors and thugs.

Maybe should be signing EOs to ban COVID 19 - it's just a distraction from the main issue, a pandemic.

TikTok,TikTok,Tik Tok the time is ticking away. Adhere or get annihilated.

TikTok users will just use vpn's to avoid the ban. Or they will start using Twitter against realDonaldTrump like they did with TikTok. Will Trump then ban his favorite social media platform?

Yes please!!!

Bully getting revenge on the kids who one-upped him re Tulsa

HAAAHAHA he's mad cuz Tik Tok bought all the seats at his nasty ass Oklahoma rally. Clown add! hahah

China is a national security threat and considers their nation in a Cold War with the US. They collect your personal data and are trying to leverage that for propaganda or worst. Even in this Twitter post there are 100’s of fake Chinese bots attempting to mimic people.

Trump shows his vindictive side. This guy must be booted from the White House. Put him on the first Space Farce rocket off the planet. What a POS

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 just because teens messed up his rally. It was hysterical

Honestly that's a great idea

🤦🏾‍♂️We have a pandemic going on, protests and killings everywhere, civil angst amongst Americans, businesses closing, unemployment and this guy just wants to ban Tik Tok, build a wall, and use the exclamation mark after his 4 word sentences excessively. Unite us. God help us.

Gigi_Resist What? So wrong. We have the Constitution and Freedom of Speech. Read it sometime Don.

He mad mad about his failed gathering still? Lol

TikTok steal US citizens personal information for CCP own use. Don't say I am innocent when CCP catches u🤭🤭 TikTok contain lots of stupid video

Bully

If only this amount of effort could keep Covid under control & save lives but no, this is more important

IAmSophiaNelson I thought he had a very “high” IQ. It has nothing to do with China or TikTok. He’s mad at kids, many who aren’t old enough to vote for outsmarting him.

Can he do that legally Google is not much help, just sayin. Wtf

We live in a free country. We have our own right to choose what app we use. Why does our government choose for us?

Trump is the worst president of the history of these United States..

The same thing happened with Grindr. This isn’t that serious.

Soon it will feel like you are in China, no social media. He won’t want people to share ideas.

So now he looks like the one who ordered it after a US company said they wanted it? Hmmm.

Isn’t this extortion? Oh wait, it’s tRump! He gets away with crimes! ThanksGOP!

That's not how laws are made in America. We don't have a King. He doesn't rule by decree. We have a Congress who writes bills and passes laws. The President only signs them into law. So thanks, realDonaldTrump, but we'll do whatever the FUCK WE WANT.

Number one problem in usa is tik tok haha

LMAO GOOD

TIK•TOK• MFer 11/03/2020⏳

Rocket man taught him well

realDonaldTrump

WTF...just WTF

150,000 people dead, and this man is concerned about an app....He’s a disgrace.

Look what you've done, sarahcpr!

Always watch the magician's other hand! He's using this for cover.

A lot of CCP simps in the comments...

Full support for the ban.

With soooooo many major and wide spread issues needing his attention, he’s going to focus on TikTok, but still wonders why nobody likes him! A morally deficient narcissistic human being if ever there were one.

Chances for the millennial is vote GONE! TrumpCampaignSpiralingOut

His supporters don't know how to use tiktok anyway,that's the main reason his banning it, his posts are trending on twitter not tiktok

Seems the Hilarious Teens Triggered the Orange Snowflake into a Meltdown

This would cost Trump the Election coronavirus BlackLivesMatter

Great news!

Don't be afraid of China, Mr. President. They're trying to help.

Thicc man😉😏😹

Is mafia rave involved?

Doing gods work

He's mad sarahcpr makes him look like a chump.

YES finally that Chinese CCP spyware Tik Tok app is gone

Is this executive order legal? I feel like it’s not legal.

6 FEET DEEP

Trump is going to buy TikTok when twitter bans him.

A clown. That’s clown shit. Period.

Why is blackmail from a president legal?🤔

smh he's pissed about those rallies and t-shirts.

He is crazy now.

The dumbass actually did it. 🤣

throwing a temper tantrum because mad he got bullied by a bunch of kids 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sorry BillClinton you’ll have to find another app to watch teenagers dance

Good! Can’t have China stealing Americans information!

If a U.S. company does any business with TiKTok or ByteDance after Sept 20, they are subject to penalty.
