“ no evidence has ever been presented by U.S. officials showing that China has attempted to do so.”
Stories abound. Heck, go to China and search for Tiananmen Square.
We went from the issue with TikTok being … it’s controlled by the Chinese to it not being controlled by Republicans. Enjoy your MAGA TikTok, kids.
So Trump hand-picks the collection of billionaires who will “buy” Tik Tok. The one question about this deal is how large of a kick-back the transactional Trump is paid as a reward for favoring his friends.
