Joy Reid criticized Trump, but Nicole Arbour smacked back.
Also the threat of teenagers doing dance moves, mocking Donald Trump and messing with his rallies… https://t.co/uNIO1Rxg13

Joy, I know it’s hard to separate reality with yelling orange man bad, but try for a second to be an adult.

Banning tiktok is a completely non-partisan issue, if you’re intelligent.

App users are already freaking out. In true TikTok fashion, somebody made up a song about it.

The gaming community thinks the executive order is the coming of the apocalypse. So do Tencent’s investors.

But they stopped panicking when the language in the order was clarified… Some of them aren’t very clever.
Update: A White House official tells LA Times that the new Executive Order will NOT affect gaming companies owned or having investments from Tencent. The order will be applicable only to transactions related to WeChat app & service. https://t.co/Ex83NTXpCD

Others think it’s a conspiracy… So does TikTok.
The president's attempt to ban TikTok is happening literally the same day Facebook launched its Tiktok competitor. https://t.co/NE443mT0uc

And naturally, the ACLU got involved, but Andrew Pollack spit some facts.
Banning an app like TikTok, which millions of Americans use to communicate with each other, is a danger to free expression and technologically impractical. https://t.co/ZbN7f2TOwF
— ACLU (@ACLU) August 1, 2020
If you’re mad at TikTok potentially getting banned and not mad at the national security threat the app poses, you might be a Democrat.

So did talk show host Wayne Dupree.
TikTok has denied that it stores data in China and maintains that the CCP have never requested data from the social media company.
LOL…the last words of a dead app 🤣

Maybe this will help get President Trump’s reasoning for the ban across.
