    when I learned about 2 years ago that TikTok was totally owned by the Chinese guvment I cancelled my membership - this action was simply a temp lift for 90 days, to see if a new owner can step forward, and if I understand it correctly it was something he was allowed to do prior to signing the bill into law- I fully expect in the end for it to be sold to an American Company or person

    Well that’s not the prevailing word on the street from the left regarding tariffs.

    Personally I think hits threats are the way he “tries” to negotiate.
    Throw a bunch of crazy shit out there and get everyone riled up.

    Whatever. He completely flipped on the issue when one of the biggest investors threw him a big check. Now he's trying to walk that back for obvious reasons (it's shit and most of his people think it's shit). Enjoy the carnage. Enjoy "owning the libs". But stop pretending this clown is a serious person.

    Utterly corrupt. Complete dumbass. What a wheel-spinning waste the next 4 years is going to be.

    There needs to be a rating for "THIS is actually the best post ever, even though some others also received the 'best post' rating."

    We'll survive. USA is too loaded economically and geographically to ever completely go down. Even if it all "crashed" the foundation is so strong that we'll definitely be better off than most if not the entirety of the rest of the world. As I said, wheel-spinning. That's what the next 4 years is going to be. Lost ground that we may or may not be able to make up for in the future. We can thrive or we can survive. Looks like we're heading for the second option, which is really sad. Haley or DeSantis would have delivered. Instead we get this douchbag and his band of morons.

    Trump is just delaying so he can find a way to make $$$ off the legislation for him and his friends. Everything is transactional.
