Bullshit, petty tyrant.President Donald Trump is turning up the heat on TikTok.
Trump issued an executive order late Friday giving ByteDance, the Chinese parent company of the popular video-sharing app, 90 days to divest its U.S. operations.
The order comes a week after the president issued a directive barring Americans and U.S. companies from conducting transactions with ByteDance by late September — and amid efforts by suitors such as Microsoft to make a deal to purchase TikTok. Friday's action adds pressure on ByteDance to find a buyer, while giving the U.S. government a chance to object if it does not approve of the choice.

“There is credible evidence that leads me to believe that ByteDance … might take action that threatens to impair the national security of the United States,” Trump wrote.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
