TikTok credits Donald Trump with saving the app in the US

As a gamer, I’ve got to say thanks to Donald Trump for pulling off some serious moves that kept TikTok alive in the US! You know, with the whole shutdown threat due to national security issues and all. But then, just like a boss move, he announced a plan where at least half of TikTok needs to be owned by American investors. And voila! Services were back up on Sunday. So here’s to you, Mr. President, for keeping our favorite video-sharing platform going strong! #ThanksTrumpForTikTok

According to a statement from TikTok, due to President Trump’s actions, TikTok is now available again in the United States. The platform also thanked its service providers for their help in restoring the app and reiterated its dedication to collaborating with Trump on a lasting resolution.

According to TikTok, they are working with their partners to resume operations. They express gratitude towards President Trump for offering the required clarity and assurance to these partners, ensuring that they will not face any penalties for continuing to offer TikTok to more than 170 million users in the U.S., and supporting over 7 million small businesses.

The news follows the temporary deletion of the app from American app markets, making it unreachable for numerous users. During a gathering on Sunday, Trump spoke about this matter, highlighting how crucial the app is for millions of Americans and small businesses alike.

The recent announcement was made following the app’s short-term removal from US app stores, rendering it inaccessible to many users. At a rally on Sunday, Trump discussed the matter, stressing the app’s significance to millions of Americans and countless small businesses.

Trump proposed extending the deadline for the ban and negotiating a partnership that ensures U.S. security. He stated, “I’d prefer the U.S. to own half of this partnership. This way, we protect TikTok, keep it under responsible management, and let it continue thriving.” (This was reportedly said on Truth Social.)

There’s been a varied response to the return of this platform. Some people applaud Trump’s actions as a move that could help preserve jobs and protect a much-loved digital service. On the other hand, detractors are expressing concerns about its potential consequences.
