Trumpâs TikTok Deal: Approved By China, Believed By No One
In a masterclass of alternative facts delivered with the composure of a man just casually rewriting international diplomacy, Donald Trump claimed without evidence that China approved a TikTok deal. Meanwhile, the tech world, government officials, and reality itself remain baffled. This declaration follows a saga where TikTok, worth an eye-watering $50 billion valuation, is tangled in U.S.-China tensions stronger than your grandma's Wi-Fi encryption. No actual deal has been announced nor verified by Chinese officials, but hey, Trump's got the receipts printed on the back of a COVID relief check. The saga continues to turn uncertainty into an art form.
