I try not to make assumptions about things I have no idea about. Therefore, I'll ask - is there someone/anyone in your life who forces you to watch a Tik Tok video?
I had an 6/7/8 year old who would demand I watch specific videos - and it sucked - but I was willing to appease her because I loved the kid.

Anyways, if what Trump claims to be his reasoning is true, I actually don't have a problem with the "ban". Problem is I NEVER 100% believe what Trump claims - unless it's something negative about himself.

No, not the actual videos. Mercifully, I have one daughter too old for it and one daughter too young for it. Just kids I am around trying to record Tik Tok videos. I think I have seen a dozen groups of kids arguing about the video they were trying, and failing, to record.

Make no mistake, I do not care about this at all. I just have seen these little dust ups between friends often enough that it sticks out in my head.

Who knows what is going on with the app. If it came out that the Chinese government was really messing with it, it wouldn't surpruse me. If it was a big nothing, that wouldn't surprise me, either.

They have a 1500 person team in charge of tiktok USA. There are laws in place, especially in California, that would prevent them from just giving user data to their parent company. If they're doing something illegal they should be prosecuted on that.

I don't want to live in a country where the government can shut down a company without evidence. That's some communist stuff right there.

But I thought it was the Dems who were Communists and who were going to sick Federal Law Enforcement on US citizens?

Which is a ribbons-and-bows-perfect example of Trump not having any ideology. You will not find much support in the moneyed part of his base for directly taxing M&A activity.* All this is is "what can I say today that makes it sound like I'm tough on foreigners, ones I can also blame for Covid-19?"

* There is, of course, also no LEGAL basis for doing this. But that's a tertiary concern at best at this point.

But from a fundraising standpoint? You think the private equity and hedge fund guys, and so on and so forth, are for heightened government regulation of M&A?

I do not.
