BREAKING ABOARD AF1 - Trump says he plans to terminate the social media platform Tik-Tok in the US using presidential authority.

Why?

What is he afraid of from Tik-Tok?

Won't work because Vee Pee Ehns.

OK, here's the story

Trump says he will ban TikTok through executive action as soon as Saturday

President Donald Trump on Friday told reporters he will act as soon as Saturday to ban Chinese-owned video app TikTok from the United States, NBC News reported.

Trump made the comments while chatting with reporters on Air Force One during the flight back to Washington from Florida.

“As far as TikTok is concerned we’re banning them from the United States,” Trump said, calling the action a “severance.”

Trump did not specify whether he will act through an executive order, or another method. such as a designation, according to NBC News.

“Well, I have that authority. I can do it with an executive order or that,” Trump said.

Trump’s comments come as it was reported Friday that Microsoft has held talks to buy the TikTok video-sharing mobile app from Chinese owner ByteDance, one person close to the situation told CNBC. This person characterized the talks as having been underway for some time, rather than being brand new.

Trump told reporters that he didn’t support the reported spinoff deal involving Microsoft buying TikTok, NBC News reported.

"Trump told reporters that he didn’t support the reported spinoff deal involving Microsoft buying TikTok, NBC News reported."

OK fine.

But can someone tell me what business Trump has in interfering with private business deals because he personally doesn't support it?

Hey idiot. There’s already a pinned thread about it. Use search shithead

Idiot.

It's a Chinese communist party run and owned app used to gather intelligence of all sorts on American citizens and the US military/Congress/government in general.

It's demonstrated to report home with all sorts of data you don't want a foreign government having access to
