SaRaAshcraft shut it down .. kids mind are being warped from this drivel

Deals made Trump trying to make money off it to?

Remember when Barr said something big is coming in October? Think of a Russian anniversary.

Trump needs to stay out of those things and run a country. He's allowing way to much media get to him. And blames corruption for the ban. My only reason to ban it is bcuz it's a new way for pedos to follow kids.

Don’t think Trump would cope with debates, he’d have a full blown meltdown.

He should tell politicians the same thing. Make a deal to help Americans in need right now struggling with Covid to have basic necessities or everything gets shut down. But nah, no way would that happen. He's Donald Trump.

And he is trying to take credit and a cut for this possible sale even though Microsoft was already in negotiations.

about realDonaldTrump ❤️✌️

can microsoft just make the damn deal already!!

He will be shutdown November 3

👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸

So proud of him 👏👏👏👏

If only he had this same passion about the health and welfare of the American citizens fighting a pandemic.

can we not worry about tiktok and worry about this damn pandemic! i can’t believe THIS is seriously who people support

Good

America says Trump will shut down on Nov 4th.

I can't believe hes getting in the middle of this... oh wait he wants part of the money from the deal. Think China will cooperate?

What is the issue with Tik Tok? And how will it be solved if Microsoft owns it?

Good to see he has his priorities straight. 🙄

Good stuff mr. president 😂😂😂

This must be how he negotiates sex with the wife too....if you dont take ur underwear off by midnight.......you’ll see!!! Something never seen before in the history of the world!

Does he own tik tok?

As long as America is doing the spying It’s ok.

Can his Twitter be shut down? He wouldn't like that. TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

So basically they want a share of what tik tok makes classic America

Nobody cares, here's a wholesome meme.

Teenagers and their democratic parents freaking out

What kind of deal?!?🤔🥴🙄🙄 SMH

Donald will shut down November 3rd

Imagine worrying about TikTok during a pandemic and an election in three months.

How is this even important? How is this his focus?

he has way better things to do

So Trump is more worried about Tik Tok then taking care of things like safety, the economy, COVID, etc.? I voted for Trump in 2016, I won’t make that mistake twice.

Yup

Just don't take my Facebook!

please stop showing pics of this ugly gross monster from hell.

Trump says TikTok sale can go through but only if the US gets a cutPres. Trump set September 15 as the deadline for TikTok to find a US buyer, or else he'll shut down the app in the country. In an unusual declaration, Trump also said any deal would have to include a 'substantial amount of money' coming to the US Treasury. Is that even legal? I don't agree with his strategy. Trump is not running a bodega to make money, while letting shoplifters to walk in and walk out of the store. China is a security risk to US app users, so TikTok must be banned. Period.
