Trump Saved TikTok and He Expects His Cut

 


Trump tweet from yesterday. Notice especially the 3rd paragraph and its quivering lust for the "hundreds of billions, maybe trillions of dollars" to be siphoned, sucked, or swindled in the deal.





































If the United States is to have half-ownership of TikTok, in a trump-inspired deal, who do you think will be calling the shots? Trump himself intends to be master of TikTok, to have his own social media kingdom and to be like Musk with his own captive audience.

My reading is that the UNITED STATES should have the 50% interest in TikToc and the UNITED STATES would therefore receive the money, not TRUMP. It would be like an endowment to a university and keep generating income for the UNITED STATES. With actions like that we could totally eliminate personal and corporate income taxes.
CAPITOLISM! USE IT OR LOSE IT!

Trump is want to wet his beak. He's the boss of bosses, after all.

Oh, as in 10% for "The Big Guy"?

Looked like Zuckerberg was more interested in wetting his beak...

Uh, that’s not capitalism. That is textbook socialism. You want the US government to own businesses?
