TRUMP REMINDS AMERICANS THAT HE LED THE CHARGE ON ALERTING WORLD TO DANGERS OF TIKTOK
On Thursday, Trump recalled that three years prior, he had taken the lead in raising awareness of the risks posed by the Chinese-influenced viral app TikTok.
“Has anybody noticed that everyone wants to go after and destroy TikTok due to China’s influence and national security?” he commented in a video posted to Truth Social. “When I wanted to disable TikTok three years ago, I was met with opposition from RINOs, Democrats, and everyone else. They actually went to court in an effort to stop me. Now they realize I was right, and changed their tune.”
According to CBS, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew attempted to portray the app in his testimony before Congress this week as not endangering the security and privacy of Americans. Of course, the big worry has been that TikTok might be giving the Chinese Communist Party access to private information via the app.

Surprisingly, Chew told Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Florida, that ByteDance, the Chinese firm that owns TikTok, had access to the data of American customers.
In 2020, Trump signed an executive order to target the threat posed by TikTok downloads in the U.S. “This mobile application may also be used for disinformation campaigns that benefit the Chinese Communist Party, such as when TikTok videos spread debunked conspiracy theories about the origins of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus,” the executive order reads.

The strong effort against TikTok has halted since Trump left office. The internal data dangers associated with the TikTok app, however, have received considerable attention at recent Congressional Hill hearings.
Trump continued in his statement this week, “Sadly, I’ve been right about everything, and you know what – the Democrats know it, the radical left knows it, the Communists and Marxists within our own country know it. They want to turn our country into a Communist country, [a] Marxist country. They want to turn our country into something that we’re not going to let them have – we’re not going to do it. But we were right on so many fronts, but we’re going to be right again because we’re going to make America great again.”
