Hello Aaron!

 There's a big difference between a suggestion, and making a claim that it's something that's done and in place.

 4 years ago, Trump was one of the most vocal people towards a ban of TikTok.  But because the CEO of ByteDance, and a bunch of other people who have money invested in it gave Trump money, he's now done a complete reversal of that.  Nothing else has changed.

America should NOT be in the business of "owning" businesses that have nothing to do with providing public services or running our government. And you should not be excited about this prospect, becuase it goes aganst the very tenants of capitalism.


 AT> But I was right about this other part of our conversation:

 AT> "He just signed an order ending DEI in federal workplaces. This

 You'll note that I cut that out of the other message, because I had (and still have) no desire to explain that DEI is not the boogeyman that your cult leaders have told you it is
