Trump Deems TikTok Worthless, Deal Falls Apart
Following a Supreme Court-enforced ban, President Trump’s stance on TikTok has shifted. Initially pledging to overturn the ban and highlighting his substantial engagement on the platform, he now labels TikTok “worthless” unless a favorable deal is reached. Trump suggests a joint venture where the U.S. obtains half ownership, but the future of the ban remains uncertain pending his final decision. This reversal reflects a hardening of his position toward the social media platform, despite previous assurances to the contrary.
