What are you talking about, there are, literally, hundreds of stories about why Trump is bad, evil, or an embarrassment in the media. Why would a few more stories make him choose a policy against TikTok? He is constantly saying the media lies, so why wouldn't he just slough off those stories as more lies? I think people really want this narrative to be true, so people are reaching for any evidence to back the claim. The story sounds so much better when you can make Trump look like a crazy person who is so thin skinned he will ban an app that offends him. But a lot of politicians on both sides of the aisle believe the CCP is a threat to the US, so this action is not as surprising as it may first seem. You've also got to remember that wechat was also targeted, so this is not hitting one app, but multiple Chinese apps.
