If you really look at it, Tiktok are playing Trump hard
They decided themselves to shut down one day before Trump's inauguration, knowing millions of people who make money from Tiktok would have their income stream taken away, then less than 24 hours later they announced a reopening based on nothing more than a Trump tweet, while telling 170 million US TikTok users that "President Trump is saving us! Thank you President Trump." Now if Tiktok shuts down again, the conversation will be about how Trump couldn't get it done.
