Trumpâs TikTok Ban: Banned But Still Doing the TikTok Shuffle
While Joe Biden signed the law threatening to kick TikTok out by September 17th, itâs Donald Trump whoâs acting like the worldâs slowest bouncer, still struggling to cut a deal to keep TikTok legal. The @WhiteHouse TikTok account dropped its first video celebrating Trumpâs accomplishments â a move thatâs like banning junk food but then opening a cupcake shop next door. Trumpâs TikTok saga has been postponed thrice due to feuds with Xi Jinping and tariff tantrums. Trump himself said on Truth Social, 'Why would I want to get rid of TikTok?' apparently forgetting he tried to ban it.

Trump bans TikTok but opens official account anywayâlike a pyromaniac hosting a bonfire safety seminar. Banned, delayed, then promoted: the right dance for clueless political platforming.
Trying to ban TikTok but launching @WhiteHouse there is political multitasking on 0-to-awkward scale. Imagine ghosting an ex but stalking them on Snapchat daily.
Trumpâs TikTok ban is the political version of calling a deadline but then ghosting it until it forgets where you live. Also: hello, viral propaganda central!
