Original Article Summary:
In a brief Sunday statement, President Donald Trump expressed optimism that a deal would be struck regarding TikTok before an impending deadline. The administration has mandated that the Chinese-owned social media platform divest its U.S. operations to address national security concerns. TikTok, owned by ByteDance, has been under scrutiny for its data collection practices and potential ties to the Chinese government. The Trump administration has threatened to ban the app if it fails to sell its American operations to a U.S.-based company. Negotiations involving companies like Microsoft have been ongoing, and the president suggested progress is being made. The article reflects liberal concerns over the deal’s implications, while also subtly questioning the administration’s motives and focus.
Here’s What They Meant To Say
Trump Tries to Protect America, Media Screeches “Dictator!”
Once again, President Trump takes a stand to protect American security and sovereignty, and the liberal media acts like it’s the end of democracy. By pushing TikTok to divest from its Chinese overlords, Trump is doing what any sane leader would—keeping Communist China from harvesting our kids’ data like a Beijing buffet.
National Security? Nah, Libs Just Want Dance Videos
The left is more concerned about losing their precious viral dance routines than scrutinizing a company with direct ties to an authoritarian regime. Forget national security—if it interrupts their TikTok likes, it’s fascism!
Big Tech, Big Government, Big Hypocrisy
Liberals scream about Russian Facebook ads from 2016 like it’s D-Day, but when China has its digital claws in millions of American phones? Crickets. Trump suggests a simple solution—sell to an American company—and suddenly it’s a “power grab.” You can’t make this up.
Microsoft Might Save the Day, But Orange Man Still Bad
Even if an American company like Microsoft saves the platform and keeps it running under U.S. oversight, the media will still find a way to spin it as Trump bullying tech companies. Because in liberal land, doing your job as president is a crime—if your name is Trump.
In conclusion: Trump tries to stop Chinese spyware, and the left throws a tantrum. Maybe if he had just worn a Che Guevara shirt and called it “social justice,” they’d be all for it.
