Trump issued an executive order that bans TikTok from operating in the US in 45 days if it's not sold by Chinese parent company

The orders, which use similar language, do 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 regarding TikTok prohibits after 45 days"any transaction by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, with ByteDance Ltd.," the Chinese company that owns the social media platform.

, Shenzhen, China, or any subsidiary of that entity, as identified by the Secretary of Commerce under section 1 of this order."National security concerns have long fueled policymakers' reservations surrounding the apps. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told reporters last week at the White House that the US government was conducting a national security review of TikTok and was preparing to make a policy recommendation to Trump.

Business I don’t recall Russians killing 160K Americans this year... as the Chinese have. 🤔

Business Donald trump also announced there will be no Chinese eating Mac Donald’s from now on even if he looses . No Harley Davidson will be sold in Gina . Also Apple Facebook Google there is a list

Business

Business CNN is foolish,it seriously hurts young men‘s mind.

Business Get rid of that garbage!

Business How is this app any different than all apps?

Business 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Business no matter what threat Trump claims, TikTok still followed the US law to operate. if Trump really cares American security, he should improve the law instead of baning a company. because after tiktok, there will be more apps emerging.Therefore, Trump only cares election.

Business What about Facebook? Oh, that's right, Trump and Fuckerberg love each other.

Business Ogey

Business I'm waiting for the day it blows me up. Not like I will care or know. As long as my entire family comes too I'm happy, which is why I will never let them leave my side. Hell is on Earth

Business So basically, don’t trust China with your personal information. Only American owned companies are trust worthy to hold your personal information ?

Business 🤦‍♂️

Business it's not going to be banned. this is all hot air.

Business

Business

Business Our 'data' has been bought and sold many times already.

Business Nope...this is a Trump scam to get back at Tik Toc..🇺🇸

Hadas_Gold Banning TikTok is like beating up little children. realDonaldTrump is just an asshole, thats all about it.

Hadas_Gold 50 Years of Joe Biden's Racist Comments via YouTube

PoppyHarlowCNN

Hadas_Gold People are dying of COVID. People are hungry. People are jobless. People are about to lose their homes. Children are dying. WHO CARES ABOUT TIKTOK!!!

Hadas_Gold Trump is a HISTORICAL FAILURE! Another attempt to impose his corrupt deal making.

Hadas_Gold Why did democrats block a bill letting victim's families sue China over the virus?

PoppyHarlowCNN I support Donald Trump's stance on China 💯.

PoppyHarlowCNN LarryKudlowShow how’s the coke habit?

PoppyHarlowCNN I don’t watch Larry. But thanks.

PoppyHarlowCNN Fuck TikTok, where’s the focus on the Uighurs being detained?!? Where’s the sanctions? Where’s the media?!?!? Kinda hard to go after someone that’s paying your bills eh?

PoppyHarlowCNN We need news. Where is Ruth Bader Ginsburg? How is she? rbg

PoppyHarlowCNN

PoppyHarlowCNN Government overreach says what?

PoppyHarlowCNN Hurrah! I know many people are angry at trump about this. Thats good. Trump has just hopefully lost that little extra support

PoppyHarlowCNN SaveFortnite

PoppyHarlowCNN Who in their right mind would be against the ban?

PoppyHarlowCNN Hey larry_kudlow WHY is realDonaldTrump MORE Worried about STOPPING Tik Tok than the COVID-19 Virus 🦠💀⚰️ WHY?

PoppyHarlowCNN But hear me out..... just let the free market take care of them /s

PoppyHarlowCNN Too bad trump didn’t work this fast to stop COVID-19 & prevent 160k deaths ..AmericanGenocide

Sherisse Thats full of bs

Sherisse

Sherisse Talk about a VIOLATION OF THE 1st Amendment! I love guns and the 2nd Amendment but the 1stA is most important and Trump fights hard for his base and the 2ndA but wants to take our 1stAdmebdment away! Can’t have one without the other! IMPEACH and CONVICT Trump ASAP!

Sherisse It's just another mode of Censorship of internet. This is not a free country anymore. What's the difference between a communist state ordering their citizens what they can and cannot do and participate in, and what Trump is doing by this action

Sherisse That's the dumbest shit I ever heard.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Sherisse Trump is forever the failed gut strategist dictator! He is heading for another 'Tulsa'like' moment from the young and highly sophisticated tech generation! No learning! VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

So, what foreign company would like to do business in the good old USA? Nope. Very few.

Bozo the clown.

So some just buy tiktok

这算抢劫不?

trump plays with his daughter

If you want to do anything so you think about people you in USA 🇺🇸

Anyone finds convenient realDonaldTrump Executive Order to ban tiktok_us a few days after instagram Facebook introduced 'REELS'? tiktokban InsiderTrading followthemoney RIPtiktok TikTok

Tik tok for trump on 11/3/20.

Doesn't this infringe on freedom of speech rights?

Can he legally do that?

Can you help people get their money so they can eat . This is ridiculous that tic toc is your concern. People are hungry. Make Mitch McConnell make a deal.

What about Google? That's got to be one of the worse online for data gathering, tracking where you go and its AMERICAN!!!

Considering his narcissistic personality, this has everything to do with sarahcpr paradies. Just sayin...

Who the fuck are you..

Trump created the Tik Tok saga in an effort to deceive the American public and redirect attention away from his illegal tax returns, Covid-19 incompetence, and billions of dollars in tax breaks for pass through entities like his own family business. Nice try though.

What about COVID 19 that’s more important right now !!

Right on!

Let's vote him out

But, cont to allow ZTE from China to operate here?

Coming from a chinese backed news co 'cnn' lol

Is taking orders from Putin His boss

This is low-key smart af. He's doing it so a American company buys it

What have we come to when I fear the Fuhrer-like behavior of our infantile prezydent trump, and Facebook giving our personal info to his campaign, more than Chinese companies having access to our browsing histories if we use their apps?

LOL, I'm going out on a limb here, but it will be challenged in court and Trump will loose, as usual. 🤣🤣🤣

Trump cares more about TicToc than the Virus, What a true peice of shiit!

Which one of Trumps family or friends will buy it.?

Someone should track what actually happens after executive orders are signed. Does anything change or is it all show and no results.

Great move Mr. Trump.

HEY STABLE GENIUS. mi CRO soft is own by Chinese. Internet back up systems are located in RUSSIA so there do something

Will Ivanka mysteriously become the owner?

Very good

Do you really think you have that kind of control, gaslighting again, what are you really doing ?

CNN could become anti-American if it means standing against our President.

👍🏿

What’s fascinating is how completely useless companies form and make billions

Wow, he's still mad about TikTok users punking his on-line ticket requests for Tulsa rally. He can't take what he likes to dish out. There are other ways to secure TikTok for US users, but Trump wouldn't be getting all that attention & free press to divert from his failures

Ban fox news

Man!!! sarahcpr has really pissed off the little baby. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa wahhhhhhhh

What is wrong with this man, he hands out executive orders like law suits!!!!

China is heading no where, why panic US?

realDonaldTrump using socialism to advance his nazism

Legal? Don't think so.

this is why he hates TikTok......

Unbelievable

This is not about protecting American people it’s another experiment for realDonaldTrump creation of a dictatorship in the USA. All dictators start by suppressing controversial items, then suppressing those with opposing views, and finally complete censorship.

So basically he will try to eliminate any form of anti Trump sentiment in the US.

monaliza_kc His China Business Interest must need a push to help the sale

I like how he put it at 45 days. Just like his number, which we should remove permanently.

realDonaldTrump is still pissed because of his HUGE rally upset caused by some TikTok users 😂

I heard that melania was involved with n tik tok porn

Mad because he got played at the convention. Grow up your the President of the United States 🇺🇸

If it was used to praise him, he'd never think of banning it.

Why are you even involved in this? You have WAY bigger things to deal with. So people are making fun of you on Ticktock. Stop doing/saying stupid things and maybe they won't I know work is a foreign concept to you but go do your damn job!

A bunch of kids punked me so TikTok must go!!

Toilet paper has more meaning than this EO from the idiot. MSNBC buying it will make the young move to another app that will be more menacing towards the idiot. Yea, go ahead do it.

Because Trump Thinks That's How The Chinese Are Infecting People In The United States. 'They're Giving Us The Virus Using TikTok, I Heard It Myself. They Said Things On There Were Going Viral. See, They're Working With The Dems.' 'CONSPIRACY !!!' 'OBAMA'S FAULT !!!'

Mr . Trumpheimer belongs in jail, he's tiktok in his head...

What a Pillock!! just goes to show how the USA can get away with anything they like, The Bully on the Block will eventually find he has been defeated and hide in the shadows for eternity.

LOL...ROFL...lolol...ROFLMFAO...LOL....this is so funny.....LOL...ROFL.....hes such a baby.....ROFL

First step to control the internet.

I guess he couldn’t profit.

propadeee

he should be more concerned about important things

VPN's in 45 days:

Thank you mr president realDonaldTrump , this app is a disgrace!

We need a President who doesn't impose regulation on business...

Sounds like good old fashioned fascism to me.

Daylight robbery by Donald Dumb.

be patient everyone, just 4 more months world will be free from this brainless monster.

He’s trying to dumb down the internet like other dictators and blind us to and from the world then they will blockall content they feel you should not see but dictate what you should!

wow he truly believes he is king of the world...are we sure he doesn't have dementia

What a pissy ass cry baby.

realDonaldTrump very disturbed. Just go natural in your facial features. Hair makeup. It’s being laughed at a lot. People know your hair is fake.

Just more bull crap to try and distract from the real problem. Covid 19 and the deaths and his incompetence

Why is he so concerned about an app when there’s so many other pressuring issues 😂😂😂

The BEST PRESIDENT EVER!

Another assault on free speech. This is Trump’s vindictiveness for the TikTok kids prancing him in Tulsa. Mature adults avoid this behavior

China has banned Google / YouTube - they have forced Microsoft to share their code ... they don’t have a great brain like Steve Jobs but they have beaten Apple IPhone and now they make OPPO that looks like IPhone - How no one saw that as injustice - USA should wake up

My guess is Trump has buying controling stocks in one of the social media companies that's looking to buy tiktok. That would be the one social media apps that he can't get banned from and he can rant what ever he wants.

So this is priority?

Nobody like this thug

It will hurt the Chinese people only

Dictator Donnie has spoken.

Almost 160K dead Americans and this nutcase is focused on Tik Tok. I suspect he'll be heading to his resort today, after all this week has been tough. The AXIOS interview, Yo-semites, the Biden lead. AmericaOrTrump

How is this important tight now when we don’t have the pandemic under control?

TikTok and boom went Beirut!

That's Trump for u , He does what he said. He always chose his people first. That's how a leader should be. Not selling ur people to others because of your selfish need.

Clearly economical war.

Amazing personality with great leadership qualities TheCryptoDog0 I believed in the team and success followed. Initially I deposited $700 and in a couple of days I got $6300. The team’s credibility can’t be overlooked

It's a crazy and lunatic person. he no longer knows what is right from what is wrong. The country of freedom is becoming the country of repression against apps that can talk against the president. Any day, it will be repression to people that says no to Trump. GET HIM OUT!

Tell his trump supporters to get off the app they’re embarrassing him

Best move yet tRump. Thanks for mobilizing the Gen Zs and Millennials to get to vote! Hit them in their iPhones. Brilliant. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica and end this $hitshow of a President. TikTok tiktokban TrumpFailedAmerica

Hell no

That will teach them for making fun of Little Donny small hands! Time to 8645! EndTheNightmare

Petty orange child. Don’t unleash the wrath of the young people. They may not be as venomous as you but they are a lot more intelligent and will see winning as a great challenge.

Horrifying Leadership!!! He has ruined our Nation and our standing globally.... Just F$% everyone else is not a strategy. You can't grossly attack our allies and then go negotiate. What kind of bully does this. Disgraceful.

Our country is in crisis and he is worried about a business from China that maybe getting our information. Guess what fool they are already have it, everything we have is made over there, including our phones that some use as a bank and track everywhere we go. A little too late

Pivoting, why aren’t you condemning the racist remarks that JoeBiden said about the black community having no diversity. If realDonaldTrump said that he’d be called a racist. And you give Biden a pass on racist stuff. Wow horribly wrong. You are racist also.

How about an executive order sanctioning Russia for interfering in our elections?

How is it even possible for this to happen? How is it we have given the government this much authority in limiting any type of data transfer? This is just plain wrong. Laissez faire Mr. President... SMH

Do You Want To do complete fitness app, trainer app, workout app, health app, gym app? THIS LINK IS HELPFUL THE TEAM ARE THE BEST SO FAR.. CLICK LINK BELOW^^^^''___

Is this the 70’s with these “China communist” talking points? The right wing love to speak about? There’s improvement issues that need to be handled.

What really should've been discussed is the government is going back on vacation until after Labor Day and stimulus package hasn't been finalized unless I missed something...oh and there's also the issue of unemployment expired...but hey...lets talk about TikTok instead 😒

US government wants to take control of American data... by taking over tiktok that’s what they could possibly do.

Another cooked up scheme to fool his uneducated supporters, to make it look like he’s against China. How about pulling all the product China makes for trump like ties, suits etc! Not to mention Ivanka’s numerous Chinese trademarks!

He cares about TikTok, 160,000 dead Mr. T

Well, I’m glad he’s not interfering with any TikTok purchase negotiations... I never thought a POTUS could have too much time on his hands. Somebody, PLEASE, give DJT something constructive to do...perhaps peruse a “MY WEEKLY READER?” ( a reference for us “Boomers”🤔)

wow this is big probably his greatest achievement, a game changer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Can you imagine 4 more years of this!?

Good

I’m 60 years old and now I have to figure out how to join TikTok

Stop all opposing voices is not going to help you win the second term anyway .... resign asshole !

It's President Trump

Freedom of Speech ? You call this fucking United States of America ? Land of free ? What you did no different from Hitler !

Great way to promote commerce and help the economy. Failures bring failure to the table. Thank you for helping productivity.

And how exactly will he enforce that?

It’s sickening. Maybe he should use his executive order to extend unemployment insurance and the moratorium 🙄 instead he uses that energy to ban Tik Tok.

This orange man has lost his marbles. Slamming the Chinese, but collaborating with the Russians.

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

shame!

Donald Trump BEST PRESIDENT EVER WWG1WGA MAGA CNN pice of shit

Doesn't he have better things to deal with, like a PANDEMIC!!!

Doesn’t make any sense to force a fight with China. This President seems to push that as his agenda. The opposite should be happening—being China’s ally. It’s the proper goal in regard to all countries, especially the world’s largest. It’s the simple minded who need enemies.

Lol

Eh....is America, a total fascist dictatorship now

100’years from now, this will be known as Trump’s landmark bill! 👏 👏 👏

Sell or it will be banned anyway

Meanwhile 2000 deaths per day and counting. But it seems Trump has more important stuff to do.

Good way to ban CPC, a devil regime.

Trump:pls follow me. Let's say china CHINA CHINA That's my home My uncle is their best friend Supporter: TRUMP Trump trump We will stand with u forever

Is he having a tantrum again?

Haha! Comedians such as sarahcpr use of TikTok has led to the president's rash and hasty decision to ban the app. But use it to mock his opponents, he will surely reverse his decision. The United States of America is slowly becoming The Divided States of America. Putin is happy.

And if they don't?

How come? Whats wrong with tik tok?

Praying for you to succeed and loving you everyday..... More wisdom,, more strength and more grace IN JESUS CHRIST NAME AMEN

Can't believe you are crying over a TikTok. An app that was confirmed to collect data from u such as passwords or the entire lines od texts. You Americans are truly different breed.

Trumps America becomes a dictatorship

DICTATORSHIP, pure and simple

What next? Banning FB, Twitter and others if they don't publish favourable commentary on this President? His idiocy is becoming more apparent and dangerous.

Trump just doesn’t know what to do IdiotInChief

I think this is good. I'm not sure if the buyer will behave better but let's see.

this man has real problems

What is he trying to buy it? Perhaps Ivanka wants it ...

This infringes my First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech!!! realDonaldTrump is a President not a dictator!!!

Where is the trust?

Good move

This just proves that America are the real terror threat to the world.. Imagine walking into your local fruit market and demanding the owner sell you his shop otherwise you will burn it down.. Thats extortion and terrorizing.. They lied and robbed Iraq for wealth.

Gen wars: the boomers strike back.

Thats diktator .

A democratic country that protects private property, uses administrative orders to rob a private property without evidence and judicial procedures

Too much Power.

Arse!

omg

Trying to be a dictator

Coming down harder on TikTok than on Russia...

realDonaldTrump Big Fucking deal!! 160,000 dead Americans and you're worried about Tik Tok. Shame On You!🤬🤬🤬

miggymigs damn my boys career is about to end soon😪

Fighting the Covid pandemic One twerking video at a time 👏🏻 👏🏻

hes just revenging the teenagers who pranked him in tulsa. big sook

So now we can’t blame China for banning Americans app in china for security concern Both countries have the same mentality

He is just seeking retribution because he believes the app was responsible in impacting his crowds at his rally. Fkg child

translation: china you better help me with the election or im selling tik tok.

Well fascism have begun. HE WENT AT TIKTOK BECAUSE THAT PLATFORM WAS USED TO TROLL HIM. realDonaldTrump SIR YOU ARE REALLY A LITTLE MAN AND I DON'T MEAN IN STATUE.

Just bad it's a poor decision.

Who is going to but it? His friend Zuckerberg?

China's blocked FB , Gmail ,telegram WhatsApp, YouTube ,Instagram, Twitter .Trump's rightly blocked wechat and tiktok .

He can't image how important wechat is to all the Chinese in the US, he definitely gonna lose all the votes from us.

Trump did a great job.

And will No longer zat Peking Duck either !

Don't you have any other pressing issues you should take care of first?

It as if 1 million millennials suddenly cried out in Terror ...

attract attention, pretend to work hard to cover the failure in saving people’s lives~

Tolerance and openness are the charm of the US. That is why everyone yearns for it. Without them, how would it be different from other places.

Is he for real? 😂🤣😂 Love the ad for TikTok right below! What a 🤡

Trump ordered Goya to Iwanka!

He’s still mad.

Someone needs to teach him how to blend.

Trump2020Landslide

How can he do that?!

Thats just a high powered doup helping his billionaire friends company buy another company on the cheap.

Good as the Bidens where paid by China WHERE IS THE LOOT HUNTER GOT FROM CHINA?

I think it’s more important about his finances in DeutscheBank Bank and Putin. Tick-tock Trump tick-tock His kids making millions of dollars from foreign businesses. Jared Kushner. Hush money. Finally it’s coming out he owes billions of dollars Putin

Good

I just realized that TikTok is what Sarah Cooper uses to do her hilarious videos mocking Trump.

Seems like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are more dangerous if we are actually trying to call for national security. I use tic tok and ain’t nothing serious happening on there but repetitive dancing and 30 second cat videos🤣, if you’re really worried, our food comes from China

Rest of the world will issue an executive order that would ban all amercian made products including Microsoft Amazon Ford GMC All food companies and many more. Trump ass will burn soon. You will not win this election with these tactics and poor strategy. You are loosers!!

Let's go Millenials you have 45 days to burn down realDonaldTrump house

He's really just still mad about the rally attendance. LOL

realDonaldTrump once again getting his machine gun hurt and failed. Now guilty of its managerial incompatibility, it is Canada, Tik Tok, Covid, China measures with a stipulated maturity. Trump is more psychotic sees in every shadow, who is not conniving with his crimes, an enemy

China's National Intelligence Law from 2017 requires organizations and citizens to 'support, assist and cooperate with the state intelligence work.'

Trumped TikTok tiktokdown

Lol imagine having this toolbox lead your country. America, what's it feel like to suck this hard?

Well at least he did two things right. The first being recognizing the CCP as a major enemy of America. Second being this.

So he does this so an American firm can get tiktoks $$$? Am I getting this right. Weird move but he wants to make America great again so maybe that's part of it buying a hyped thing of Chinese market and than profit out of it

Ah, he can write in his EO whatever he wants. Paper doesn't blush. TikTok will be banned the same day he reveals his healthcare plan.

FuckChina TRUMP2020 🇺🇲🇺🇲

Very troubled individual, loves to pick and choose what kind of American ideology he wants to adapt. realDonaldTrump we live in a capitalist society, you pass laws to protect cooperations but TikTok is an exception. Republicans! he will go after the 2nd amendment next

After all the wiretapping and surveillance scandals in the US, the US government can accuse TikTok of being unsafe without any evidence. Shame on you.

Its autocracy by a petulant cry baby man child....hate him so much ever so more on a weekly basis.

What an excellent use of an executive order. It’s not like there’s anything else going on in the country that could use some attention.

Shakedown.

Ban everything from the Chinese Government, hope they choke.

Excellent move.

Get ready young people! It’s going to be your time to shine, again.

He could be cracking down on sex-trafficking, but.

Let me guess. If it’s not sold to an American company. I knew this wasn’t about our security. It’s about making money for his cronies. He’s planning his retirement after November.

I'm waiting for other countries to start doing the same to Trump properties in their countries.

That's gonna bite him in the butt, says my GF's 13, 15, and 16 yo's...

This ban also affects the HUGELY popular games of Fortnite and League of Legends, owned by the same parent company.

Poor boo-boo had his feewings hurt

Good. I fully support this decision

Which Firm will be the legal counsel for this transaction? It’s a big deal. Lol

You guys are a laughing stock. Where is the footage of Bidens' demeaning remark about black people? Or his rude comment to a correspondent? YOU don't even try to hide your collusion with the DEMONcrats!

He is trying all out to get re-elected or it will be jail time.

Then don’t touch anything in the US cause everything is made in China soon they will be building the new air force one

I’ve finally been convinced that trump is racist, banning WeChat just hurts Chinese families who communicate with relatives in China, his hatred of Chinese people is pretty obvious

The man wants his 45 days or else...

Hes doing this to get re-elected, he can't control what is being shared about him worldwide. He's a dictator not a leader. Very sad to see.

The elderly fear of new things, data security is just a scorpion,. Download tiktok or wechat, see why Trump and Facebook are so fear, because they will completely kill the facebook. So being sanctions to protect the monopoly position of the Facebook

That's the way to do it... But the Chinese will come up with Another Issue that opposes a challenge to the entire world.. Is there a solution?

H sure does love ruling by executive order. wannabedictator

The Chinese Communist Party endangered the World 🌎

The bravest act from the president..!!

155,000+ dead and he’s banning tik tok. Who is he to say who owns a company? Wannabe dictator.

YellowRibbonToo Smart move!! AsiansForTrump

Someone please tell him the details. (Don’t write them!) Otherwise at his next rally he’ll be bragging about saving our clock industry.

Cool! Did you know the majority of TicTok users are ages 15 to 32. Also, the largest voting block of registered voters this election are, 18 to 32 year olds. Of which, 73% of those are registered Democrats. 🤣🤣🤣

So he's taking executive action to protect us from an app made in China, but still ignoring the virus that's killing Americans by the thousands every single day for months... And he still thinks he's going to win this election? That's some powerful delusion...

Good

Joe Biden: I'm banning TikTok from being used by my staffers because of security concerns The Left: ... Trump: I'm banning TikTok from because used by because of security concerns The Left: TRUMP IS ANGRY. A FASCIST. LITERALLY HITLER x 5. RACIST. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

In the middle of a pandemic with 5 million cases 160,000+ deaths in 6 months, huge unemployment, biggest quarterly drop on the economy, Russian bounties on our troops, laughed at by the world. Trump's solution: Ban Tik Tok What you get from a reality TV host.

Trump had never heard of the company before those k-pop kids punked his Tulsa rally.

A Chinese dragon is a symbol of goodness, but this Chinese dragon does not look you in the eyes

Because this is the most important item needing attention?! S T U P I D!!!!!!!!!!!!!

US thinks they have rights to own everything. Afraid of being 2 in the economy. Greed. Gluttony. No wonder everything is up in flames being that Aug is a HOT mth. Stealing data bla bla. Every country is involved for AI advancement. Race to the digital era and US is losing.

150k plus Americans dead.

Only President I Have ever know doing business in the Disaster Pandemic of Life Time, God Help America

More worried about TikTok than getting a better plan for the coronavirus and get better testing out there for everyone that just the Whitehouse or the athletes. I looked up where to get testing done in my area and there is only 1 place and it takes up to 10 days to get it back.

If only he cared this much about the bounties on American troops.

Orange BunkerBoy at it again, oh the deflection........

Soon we’ll be playing Tick for Tock. Like when China tells Trump to keep all the shitty Boeing Aircraft Company 737 8 Max out of their airspace forever. Oh! What a road to recovery he is stewarding. Incredible! There has never been a worse American President. IB ILLIN’

Meanwhile people are dying and many can’t afford rent with no jobs to be found but yea ban tik tok 🙄

okay

He still butt hurt cause the high school kids outmaneuver him..😆😀

Trump is a dictator.

Give me a fucking break!!!

Sorry what? He wants it sold to the US?

We have a fucking despot on our hands.

'In 45 days'...There is always an out with this lunatic. No different than his new National Healthcare Plan he was gonna sign 'in a couple of weeks.' The 2 weeks came and went last Sunday.

Can he do that ?

There goes the 1st amendment.

TikTok has been used to spy on and link the information of U.S. citizens directly to the Chinese Communist Party. Doubt that Don cares about the feelings of a bunch of socialist justice liberriors, either. BillClintonsIsAPedo

The entire country ignores it and life goes on as before.

How is he able to silence social media...?

SWAMPY DON’s still sore about his Tulsa No-Show Rally!

Narcissist pissed because people made fun of him through TikTok 🙄

Good!

Haha and he's about to lose all of his votes from the 18-35 or so group. Haha idiot. DumpTrump2020

The clock is tiktok’ing on his Presidency.

When Trump is out of office I'm looking forward to the new administration doing something about all his executive orders. Aren't you?

So conservatives are okay with the president of the united states banning companies from operating? By himself. Not through a court order or by an law passed by congress, but by executive action? Sounds like big government to me

He wants to ban TikTok because he's so jealous at other celebrities in making everyone pay more attention to them than Trump. jealousy TikTok democracy CNN 2020worstyear

The Western camp represented by President Trump does not know that these are useless treatments that have no effect on CCP of China.

LoL 😂 hey as long as an American company does the spying its ok

Big Respect for this president. Willing to lay down his life for the good of the people. Not afraid of those big people and oligarchs. Not afraid of moloch the loser. Not being bought by objects called money. Sv3Th3Ch!ldr3n

i'm ok with this. trump is protecting america's interests. that's his job.

A great move, as we move forward through the chaos we see today..

Imagine being the president of the United States of America and your biggest concern is TikTok. Not people dying not people starving not people able to afford healthcare not people using guns to kill!

So what’s the Pandemic death toll currently at?

messing with international politics to bolster his domestic electoral hopes. Toast Trump - dump the Clown - and find a real Leader.

Big baby got his feewings hurt?

It must be exhausting to be such a cruel, petty little man.

Here we go, one step closer to a censored totalitarian state in which the government decides which platforms we get to use.

What does TikTok have to do with anything? How is this not just another distraction?

Why do all leftists squeal like pigs

£88😐😏n8Iikn!n8

notbatmanyet What is TikTok? 🧐

He needs to GO AWAY

Good. It’s about time someone in our Government stood up for the American People. That’s why I voted for realDonaldTrump and why I’ll vote for him again. Vote RED. REMOVE EVERY DEMOCRAT

He’s straight pimpin pimptrump

I’m sure there are more important issues to deal with.

He dumb

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.

He needs to find a new shade and blend that contor... Hey, realDonaldTrump POTUS, maybe go a little lighter? Maybe supremacy white?

TrumpYouAreFired

I will say this VPN.

Trump please go away

Somehow I see Russian fingerprints all over the Trump tough on China policy. It divert attention from Russia meddling in our politics, give us a new enemy or target instead of them. Of coz, Trump is not only dumb, but also more than happy to play along to help his election.

Did He ever done anything that seems rational? Isn’t there a better choice to deal with the relationship with China? People with different point of view can also talk and cooperate with good leaders. Please don’t make some bad decisions or blame each other. The world can be bett

Tic tok tic tok trumps a little cuckoo clock. Cuckoo, Cuckoo!!

Bullies

That's the real autocracy. Seems the president of America can do anything to his 'enemy' without limitation. Now is Huawei and Tiktok, and very soon it would be your turn, as the freedom is no longer exist in America.

This is what he’s worried about? People are sick and dying and he’s mad that some kids pulled the wool over his head. You ban TikTok you are asking for trouble. Kids will just find another platform to mess with him.

Pretty sure this just banned the Epic Game Store too?

I don't know what to say. What he does is so wrong. but China deserves it. When they banned fb, tweeter,ins, u name it, they didn't give any chance to sell. But, is US gov heading for the China model?

Market interference, bribery, nonthing? Pathetic.

Isn't this extortion? 'Sell to a US company or you're banned.' Just sayin'

So much for the free world and free market! Is this plain robbery or what?

Just because a bunch of teens punked him on his rally!! Look out, I heard Biden likes chocolate shakes! He wouldn’t dare!?

I love a decisive Pres,even if I enjoy the art of TIK TOK creativity.I'd rather have Trump show muscle and strength than shrug shoulders at the Chinese threat to security.Trump not backing down gives me hope.He will win re-election some MAGA for ya

He is brilliant

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 dictador that’s what he is !!!

Executive orders are only supposed to be mandates on how to direct the executive branch. Not make new laws and requirements that do not affect the federal gov.

It’s interesting that this is what he is focusing on instead of killing over 150k

Supporting tik tok is like supporting the CCP, what's hard to understand for these kids 🤨

Bring on the teens! They will fucking destroy him over this

He finally did something right. Took him long enough.

The dictatorship has started

How? How's he think he's going to pull that off?

Is it not better he is taking care of the people of the USA in stead of TikTok? And use an executive order to take care of the HEROs Act to ccare about people's housing?!

How about showing America his taxes in 45 days.

Not worth paper it’s wrote on

So my daughter's Tik Tok app won't work this week?

Automatic Weapons 🆗️ No Masks During Pandemic 🆗️ Conspiracy Theories 🆗️ 160,000 Covid19 Deaths 🆗️ Slime Squishing Videos 🚫

Any news about Biden’s racist comments today ?

9_J85 !!!

Most butthurt president ever.

Microsoft will probably own it by then

FUCK 45

Isn’t it interesting that big tech and social media companies can’t remove dangerous content like child pornography and pedophilia, yet they can immediately remove “dangerous” content they disagree with

That’s bullshit

So parent company sells it to a shell corporation and it is owned by four other companies that eventually get back to the parent company. Like god intended.

Is this actually legal?

China virus is an act of biological war.

Sounds like he’s just being a cry baby because he got trolled to me lol

Awesome! Cant trust anything made in China and/or from Communist China

China's ban on Facebook is called autocracy. U.S. ban on TikTok is called national security.

Instagram is literally replacing it as we speak

That sounds illegal

Donald does not want to pick another fight with the TikTok kids. He’s too stupid to realize he’s going to lose.

Oh Donny...why so mean?

I thought EOs were abuses of power and led to teaaarakneeeee!!!! Usurption of Congress!! but it's ok if you're Republican right?

Good. Chinese spyware

Yes! Priorities!

The most pointless executive order just hold for the signing ceremony because Microsoft is practically there and then he’s going to take credit for something he had no hand in

No co should buy it and call his bluff.

woodywoo99

He’s such a MORON !! China is laughing AT HIM

Are you sure he didn’t mean to ban Tic Tac?

And that’s going to do what? Tik Tok spun off of another app and it will spin off again. defundCNN

All because of the rally that kids protested. What a child Trump is. Putin loves this fascist move to silence people.

I’m guessing Trump doesn’t know what thousands of pissed off teens are like🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

It’s always absolutely fascinating to see how a man that claims to be a great businessman and knows nothing about business or the government or the Bible or anything except self tanner and rape

Just gotta comment on the pic used in this photo, don't make it political, it's not meant to be but kinda looks like he's tryna take a shit. seriously, I'd say the same for Biden if I could

Maga2020 Micdrop !!!

He wants his money.

Good

I’m signing an executive order that bans DT from twitter, Facebook, and WH!

Yay Trump!!

Good move they only want to steel everyone’s data and identity.

Trash ass President 🗑

Really taking care of those pressing needs for the American people. 👀🤡GOPTraitors

Well at least China will get to keep making maga hats for him.....

Anyone else spent like 20 minutes following all your favorite TikTok creators Instagram or YouTube accounts? No? Just my loser self? Cool.

His spray tan looks like somebody ate a bunch of Cheetos and rubbed their hands on his face.

🙄
