Trump explicitly promised to stop the TikTok ban so it'll be interesting to see if he follows through.

  Right after they finally repeal Obamacare, one presumes.

    He promised to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of being elected. Not being sworn-in, but 24 hours of being elected. We see how well that promise worked out.

  No he didn't. The most he said is that he would "SAVE TIKTOK" (https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113081258242253706 https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1130812582422...), which can mean anything you want. If you think the ban should be repealed, then that's what he meant. If you think the ban should be upheld and TikTok should be taken over by an American company, then that's what he meant. As usual, he has also made every other possible contradictory statement on this issue.

"A national ban on TikTok is long overdue": https://trumpstruth.org/statuses/18212 https://trumpstruth.org/statuses/18212 "Trump was RIGHT on TikTok": https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/110075348432207620 https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1100753484322... "FACEBOOK IS A GREAT THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, AND IT WILL ONLY GET BIGGER AND STRONGER IF TIKTOK IS TAKEN OUT. DO THEM BOTH?": https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112095702057229625 https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1120957020572... And of course, his own executive order to ban TikTok: https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-addressing-threat-posed-tiktok/ https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/ex...

  He will absolutely 100% save TikTok. Expect to see him work closely with Xi and Putin against their common enemies during his term. Here's another fun prediction: China will give him (personally, not the US) a huge sum of money and he will withdraw all support from Taiwan allowing China to take them over. TBD whether there's shooting involved. I'm open to friendly bets!

  WSJ earlier this year reported that a Trump donor is an investor in TikTok and has been pushing to save TikTok from a ban: https://www.wsj.com/business/how-tiktoks-trump-whisperer-changed-minds-in-washington-08e52d9e?st=BxVpRn&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink https://www.wsj.com/business/how-tiktoks-trump-whisperer-cha...
