Donald Trump hates that communist China owns TikTok, so he targets popular video-sharing app
Over the last few weeks President Donald Trump has let his frustration fly loose, with a number of targets, as usual. One of those targets is the popular video-sharing app TikTok.
Trump told everyone TikTok had 45 days to find a US buyer, or he’d shut it down. We’re not sure how that would work since it lives in the digital realm, but presumably his administration would try to find a way. “Walmart said on Thursday that it’s teaming up with Microsoft in a bid for TikTok. Walmart spokesperson Randy Hargrove declined to say how the two companies would split ownership of TikTok, if they had the winning bid, and whether the retailer would be the majority owner,” CNBC reported.
