Steve Bannon, the architect of former President Donald Trump’s political platform, suggested something was amiss with Trump’s sudden switch-up on the United States banning TikTok.
TikTok has been in the conversation for years because it is incredibly popular and is owned by Chinese tech company, ByteDance. That means that the Chinese Communist Party has access to an absolute treasure trove of American data.
A new bill in the House proposes blocking TikTok from appearing in American app stores unless the app is divested to another company.
Trump previously supported banning TikTok but seems to have changed his mind.
He wrote in a post to Truth Social that, “If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck [Mark Zuckerberg] will double their business. I don’t want Facebook, who cheated in the last Election, doing better. They are a true Enemy of the People!”
Bannon reacted to this by pointing out that Trump had just met with Jeff Yass, a conservative hedge fund manager, who has a $33 billion stake in TikTok. It is entirely possible Yass used his money to pull Trump to TikTok’s side with the bonus of sticking it to Zuckerberg.
