The ending is so funny because it tells you what is going to happen without telling you.
The president-elect tried to ban the app during his first administration.
But his rhetoric on TikTok began to turn after he met in February with billionaire Jeff Yass, a Republican megadonor and a major investor in Bytedance.
Yass’ trading firm, Susquehanna International Group, owns a 15% stake in ByteDance while Yass maintains a 7% stake in the company, equating to about $21 billion, NBC and CNBC reported in March. That month it was also reported that Yass was a part owner of the business that merged with the parent company of Trump’s Truth Social.
I think discussion about these documents has been posted here?

“We are not going to fall for a provocation of which country is better,” she said, adding that her country was increasingly being used as a political foil.
“Mexico should not be used as part of [Canadian] electoral campaigns,” she said.

I’m at least feeling pretty good that the United States position globally probably going to be degrading pretty quickly. If Trump really goes in the paint on China, he could make it a lot worse really quick.
If he does this lol, this cooks EVERYTHING. The China stuff was already going to be bad, but a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada cooks so many US companies. Every car, home, appliance becomes 25% more expensive, overnight. If it happens, straight up China W. They don’t have to do anything.
I have to admit the sentiment regarding the dead CEO was way more extreme than I expected, and I don’t mean that in a bad. Just a little of the standard liberal scolding, but largely unanimous that he had it coming. Hope that pressure point keeps getting pushed on.
