    Same playbook of abusers everywhere. Always threaten punishment. Leave it as a potential. Leave it on the table as a stick to beat with, but never quite reach for it.

      Honestly, if I were TikTok and saw this, I’d just shut off all US access to TikTok, make it clear the Tarrifs and Trump are the reason, and watch gleefully as a good % of the US that use it start revolting against Trump.

        You are definitely not tik tok. If you have a few dozen billion and are like $200 short of being able to buy tik tok, I’d happily chip that in for you because I like your leadership concepts.
