Trump sells himself to China

Formerly supported, now--needing cash very badly--opposes banning Tik Tok.
From ABC News:
"As Donald Trump reverses his position on potentially banning TikTok ahead of an expected House vote this week on legislation that could lead to it being blocked in the U.S., the former president has been rebuilding his relationship with a GOP megadonor who reportedly has a major financial stake in the popular social media platform.

Trump met with the donor, hedge fund manager Jeff Yass, earlier this month at a Club for Growth donor retreat in Palm Beach, Florida, on March 1."

Just the kind of stand-up-to-China attitude we'd expect from a person of strong America First principles!

Is Steve Bannon a pedophile groomer?

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/steve-bannon-suggests-donald-trump-has-been-bought/ar-BB1jE1gh?ocid=msedgntp&pc=ACTS&cvid=78d7ab2f67764840a9f6478adb791382&ei=81

Steve Bannon, the one-time adviser to Donald Trump, suggested on Saturday that the former president was paid off after a shift in stance on TikTok.

"If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck [CEO Mark Zuckerberg] will double their business," the former president wrote. "I don't want Facebook, who cheated in the last Election, doing better. They are a true Enemy of the People!"

In response to this post, reports noted that the seeming shift in stance from Trump came after a meeting with Jeff Yass, a conservative hedge fund manager who has a $33 billion stake in TikTok. Yass, according to Intelligencer, has been allegedly threatening to pull support from GOP lawmakers who back the bipartisan divestment bill.

Trump is a whore. He will sell himself to anyone. You can bet he is taking money from russians too.

Two days ago, i saw a lot of lefti3es attaccking the proposed ban on tiktok as republican racism, becuase China.

So, I'm sure that with Trump taking this position, that those same leftards will welcome the help of the likely next President, in standing up to the racism of the tiktok ban.

Unless all that talk of racism was just shit talk and they will still just reflexively attack Trump and Amerca and any white people that are involved, becuase you know, racism and stuff....

"Two days ago, i saw a lot of lefti3es attaccking the proposed ban on tiktok as republican racism, becuase China."

Without some examples we must assume that, coming from you, what you "saw" was all in your wee little head--inventing a false premise to prove your false conclusion. Please show some examples--and you'd better prove they're "lefties" and prove that they were charging "racism." I doubt you can do it (in any rational, adult way).

Your excuses for your... weirdness are noted.

I..., really...NO ONE expected you to be happy to see Trump siding with you. Since your pretend concern about racism, is just shit talk to give you an excuse to attack people and things to try to control them.

So this is your response to a request for a wee bit of evidence? Such stupidity goes immediately on my ignore list.

[–] Corbell (8271) 2 months ago

That's fine. You clearly are not interested in any actual discussion, so no loss for me either.
