It was recently announced that the US has reached a tentative deal with the ByteDance, the Chinese owner of TikTok that would allow TikTok to continue in the US. All we know for the present is that a “US Partner” has agreed to buy the rights to own and control content in the US. We don’t know the identity of that US partner and we wonder why it took so long to reach this point. TikTok has millions of US customers so the money angle is well provided. So–with all the billionaires in the Trump stable–why did it take so long for a deal to reach this stage? We think the answer is a secret third party, Donald J. Trump. Have you ever seen the president to pass up a chance to peddle his office power? He sells trading cards, bibles, hats, T shirts, crypto, etc. Is there ay reason to doubt that he’s cashing in some way on the delayed TikTok deal? Stay tuned and hope that transparency rules the day when a final agreement is reached.
