President Trump said he's given his “blessing” to a proposed deal between Oracle and Walmart for the U.S. operations of TikTok, the Chinese-owned app he's targeted for national security and data privacy concerns.

FILE - In this July 21, 2020 file photo, a man opens social media app 'TikTok' on his cell phone, in Islamabad, Pakistan. President Donald Trump said Saturday, Sept. 19, 2020 he’s given his “blessing” to a proposed deal between Oracle and Walmart for the U.S. operations of TikTok, the Chinese-owned app he’s targeted for national security and data privacy concerns.

Trump said the proposed deal will result in a new company likely to be based in Texas and under the control of U.S.-based Oracle and Walmart. Commerce is imposing similar restrictions on WeChat, although all of those restrictions go into effect Sunday night at 11:59 p.m.

WTF does it need his blessing?! Don’t we have courts & regulatory agencies that are supposed to rule on this stuff w/out WH interference? America? Or an authoritarian regime? I’m confused of where I’m living the past 4 years VoteThemAllOut2020 SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi

Good job mate Should if done that long time ago But maybe we didn't know what's the CCP like! Until they send us unwelcome gifts (THE CCP VIRUSE) IT'S Okay now we know Now we suppose to work to protect our lives and values of or children future 👍

realDonaldTrump sold us out to China. Atleast can’t blame Joe for this, Now China and Byte dance will use TikTok to get realDonaldTrump and TeamTrump elected and give business deals to IvankaTrump and give money to establish a new Trump University

So basically now no problem for security of Americans if this deal consider companys which supporters GOP.Trump and GOP GOP bunch of assholes.

First we had, 'Touched By An Angel.' No we have 'Blessed By the Devil.' 2020 go away.

I don’t use Oracle, have Tik Tok or shop at Walmart...all garbage ass companies

A Chinese *surveillance app

I wonder which of trump’s rich friends and donors etc own stock in oracle and tiktok - well probably find out in the criminal investigations for abusing office once he’s ousted.

He is insane.

Larry Ellison got his payoff before Trump left office - Larry hosts $100,000 a head fundraiser and voila - Oracle makes bank - all good correct?

His blessing? Hey everyone the Buffon, I mean king has spoken.

'..making a $5 billion contribution to a fund dedicated to education for Americans. “That’s their contribution that I’ve been asking for,” I'm suspicious he wants this fund named after him

General He could of stayed out of this but instead he created more chaos

Imo Trump gets a kickback from the deal.

DustinVallejo And what exactly does the president of the United States have to do with this deal? Would any other president get involved with such a deal? Hmm.

Will this deal need any approval from China?

Then something doesn’t smell right. He wants the US to do with Tik Tok everything he’s accused China f doing with it

Trump got his cash pay off for this stunt. He is broke you know.

Follow the money

Donald gives his big donors TikTok. Walmart and Oracle 😂 🤣 involved makes TikTok the most uncool thing around. R.I.P. TikTok

Trump was trying to make sure he’d profit off the deal. That’s why he intervened.

如何搞定懂王? 搞定他的金主!

Blessing? 🤢🤮

His blessing? God please make this jackass go away!

Republicans only care about small government and the deficit when the dems are in charge.

How convenient a Trump supporter got his “blessing”. Corrupt AF.

So 'sell' TT America to Walmart, who gets most of their stuff from China already...

Ha! He's afraid of the Millenials, GenXers and GenZers. And he should be. They are a magnificent force! BidenHarrisToSaveAmerica

JonLemire He has no authority in their negotiation, does he?

Translation: President Trump has officially announced he does not want the vote of anyone under the age of 30 or mid-life housewives with nothing to do.

Dear American People, in the past time, democratic party have taken advantage Floyd death to asked for reduce budget Police, even go down on their knees for Floyd death and support for BLM and Antifa and now they ask for prosecute BLM, Antifa for rioting. how do US People think?

What a waste of time and effort.

Oh FFS this is just getting stupid. Can we put an end to this autocracy... Vote!

Bless me father for I have become a cog instead of a man.

I thought America was led by a President and not a King. When did our system of government turned into a monarchy? Oh that’s right.. in 2016.

Trump blessing When does the president get personally involved in corporate business dealings?

My indicator gave me a buy signal way ahead of this news. Slide in my dm if you want an invitation to the script!

LOL Walmart

Oracle and Walmart.🙄 (Big donors both) Security? hah!! This was, as always, about $$$.

How is this better than China stealing our data?

JonLemire Pandering to corporate greed. What if Walmart got “cancelled?”

TRUMP THINKS HE IS POPE NOW!!!!!!!

Given his 'blessing'. Amazing and folks want 4 more years of this corruption and lawlessness. If I were in investor, why would I install any operations in the USA if the president can based on his mood bankrupt me? This is not good.

So it’s ok for American and Russian companies to steal your data but not for Chinese companies?

FOLLOW TH MONEY.

You mean Betsy DeVos?

LOL

A. Why is a Trump involved at all in a free enterprise deal? B. Walmart?

Ho hum......

What a horrible mistake! WALMART IS CHINA. Virtually all productS sold are MADE IN CHINA. Profits will turn around into getting MORE CCP inventory, more we buy CCP stores and more new made in CCP media outlets.

amazing, just because he was embarrassed by teenagers

Hello WORK A DEAL WITH CDC TO GET THIS COVID-19 UNDER CONTROL ImpeachedTrump 200K+ AMERICANS HAVE DIED 🛑

How much did he demand?

Walmart? I guess they’re getting into streaming and want an established brand?

Why is he even interfering?

Ick. Walmart? Oracle...

KeshavBhat What ya think Kesh? Good deal in my opinion. Although the method was barbaric.

His blessing, thats a sure sign of death.

Trump is acting ànd behaving as a totalitarian communist!

President Trump just gave his blessing on tik tok deal, Trump does everything! Amazing! Stop the BS! Vote Trump, vote red

🙄 See you soon whoever is doing your head Lyons needs to get a clue... he doesn’t have a blessing to give

YouTube Javier menos

Rather Trumpov of him. 🤨

So he must have gotten the right size campaign donations from Oracle and Walmart then...

Oracle is owned by a Trump supporter, Microsoft wasn't.. the end.

Everything Trump touches is corruption. I'm sure we'll be revisiting this unholy alliance of a deal soon.

Trump says, end all credibility and any dialogue. Simplify Twitter accounts.

I thought the GOP was against the government picking winners and losers.

But all I read here in 🇨🇦 is China is not interested in selling, at all.

His blessing? Please.

Bill Gates loses again

What is he, the Pope now?

So I'm guessing all his goons bought the stock already

Communist China still running shit lol

That’s a mistake. Both companies suck . Twitter should have took 100% control of TikTok.

Fck Walmart

Did he tell Oracle and Walmart, is the first question.

This is NOT free market capitalism. Donald is testing our resolve. How long before he personally steps in on other business deals, forces bankruptcies, mergers, acquisitions... all for his benefit?

Does he have shares 🙄

He’s not the ducking pope.

Does he want praise or something?! We all knew it was an empty threat
