Asserting that such a decision would not benefit anyone, Donald Trump officially defended the TikTok platform.

Donald Trump, Advocate for TikTok
Accusing Zuckerberg of manipulating election results in America, Donald Trump hurled heavy insults at the prominent entrepreneur. However, these statements were deemed entirely contrary to Trump’s past policies.
Previously accusing TikTok of serving the Chinese government and demanding it to leave the country immediately, the presidential candidate’s latest remarks are interpreted as a strategy change for the elections. In fact, he had previously portrayed the platform as a significant national security issue.
While the reason for Trump’s U-turn is not entirely clear, the American Congress is on the verge of making its final decision regarding TikTok. A negative outcome would result in a complete ban of TikTok from the country unless it severs ties with its owner, ByteDance. Some content creators on the platform are known to be quite disturbed by this prospect. We hope that all these developments ultimately benefit the users.
