Donald Trump seemed to come to the defense of TikTok (facing a possible ban by Congress)<\/a> in a late Thursday post on his social media platform Truth Social.<\/p>\n\n\n

“If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business. I don’t want Facebook, who cheated in the last elections, to do better. They are the real Enemy of the People!” Trump wrote on Thursday night.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not clear why Trump called Facebook “enemy of the people,” a phrase he usually reserves for mainstream media outlets that are not called Fox News. And it doesn’t seem like Trump has ever used the nickname “Zuckerschmuck” to refer to Facebook’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, before.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What hidden intentions could Donald Trump have?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trump’s opposition to a TikTok ban would represent a shift in the policy of the previous president<\/strong>, who signed an executive order in the summer of 2020 that would have required TikTok’s parent company in China, ByteDance, to completely divest from the social media site or face a ban on US soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump’s executive order<\/strong>, which was held up in a federal court before being reversed when Biden took office in 2021, deemed the existence of TikTok as a “national emergency” for the United States<\/strong> that could threaten the security and economy of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
