Today is the last day American app stores will carry Tiktok because Trump is banning it for political reasons no doubt.

I just downloaded it and if I were you I would too simply because he does not want a lot of young TikTok users to have access to the videos that are posted there against him.

It doesn’t matter if you “like” the app or not or even if you use it. It’s that seemingly small “petty” acts like this brought us Trump. Make no mistake this is an important trial balloon.

If people do nothing when he bans TikTok -- even something as small as downloading -- it's only a matter of time before he bans another app -- maybe it's Facebook next or maybe it's Instagram and then .... who knows. 🤷?♀️

wannabee dictator does not agree with. When, will ALL Americans get a clue as to what is going on ... the US stupidity is amazing and appalling. I guess not many know and/or understand world history and what has happened to other countries when a terrorist like Trump gets control.
