Of course, Trump never said the US Government would take a 50% stake in TikTok. He was referring to a US based company owning 50% of TikTok and thus able to control the algorithms and security of user data. US users of the app are then protected. The 150 million US users and US based businesses aren't deplatformed. China/ByteDance get billions in return and don't simply lose their entire US investment. Everyone wins. Except the Trump hating liberals who once again get caught clutching their pearls in more faux Trump hysteria. It's just comical. You can’t make this shit up. Well, I guess this proves you can and do.
And which "US based company" would that be? Would that company have any ownership ties to Trump/Elon/MAGA? Whadda ya think, Charles the Ignorant?
And where would the money come from to buy that 50 percent? Taxpayer money? Publicly owned firm equity? Private equity funding? No matter how you slice it, Commie Charles, Trump would be handing over government funds so that a US company can control TikTok.
Of course, you're comfy with that...because you're a liberal commie.
