    ah, so now instead of China spying on TikTok users, it will be Russia spying on TikTok users.

    Ah, so now the president chooses who gets to buy which businesses, totally not choosing the ones who will cock suck him all day.

    And TikTok will not be the last. Now a wealthy person can just ask the US to buy up something. Doesnt sound like Russia at all.

    In order to make sure they were wealthy enough, I’m sure he personally tested them one by one, challenging to send him a big donation in cryptocurrencies.

    That’s what a committed President-slash-genius looks like!

    Totally, and the deal’s going to happen in two weeks. Definitely two weeks.

      Yup, just like we were going to wait 2 weeks to decide whether to engage with Iran, or get trade deals during the temporary tariff lift. So much trust right now.

    How profound! I would have thought a group of poor people were sure to snag it up.
