Unfriendly reminder that Trump cannot be the saviour of TikTok when he is the REASON it was banned in the first place.
Don't fall for a different narrative.

Important things Americans need to hear: our government is taking advantage of all of us. They are keeping us sick and broke on purpose, and it is NOT like this everywhere. #americaneedstochange

The general consensus of the US by the citizens of the US is that it's a bad place to live. The social safety nets that exist in other countries do not exist here, simply because it isn't profitable to provide them. ⏬️
