Trump touts plans to save TikTok at victory rally

And starting today, TikTok is back. So I did a little bit of TikTok work. There’s a guy on TikTok named Jack. He is a young kid, about 21 years old. And we hired this guy and I joined TikTok. Can you believe what I will do to win the election? And we went on TikTok and Republicans have never won the young vote, the youth vote. They won a lot of votes, but they never won the youth vote. We won the youth vote by 36 points. That’s why I like TikTok. great. Don’t you say you had a somewhat good experience?

Romney lost by 40 points not long ago. We won by 36 points. That’s a very large spread. But I said we need to save TikTok. Because we’re talking about something huge. Who among this audience uses TikTok? many? Yes, it’s very popular. And honestly, we have no choice. We need to save a lot of jobs. We don’t want to hand over our business to China, nor do we want to give it to other people. And I told him he was doing TikTok without my approval. That means approval from the president. Because Congress gave the president the right to trade whatever he wanted and uh… Because they did that a long time ago when there were other presidents. I don’t think they knew I would become president.

So I said, very simply, it’s a joint venture. So if TikTok has no value, you know without approval it goes to zero, without approval it goes out of business and has no value.

If you approve, it could be worth around $1 trillion. It will be of tremendous value. So I said I would approve. But let America own 50% of TikTok. I approve on behalf of the United States.

So they will have a partner, the United States, and they will have many bidders, and the United States will have what we call joint ventures. And there is no risk. We don’t invest money. All we do is give them permission to have nothing. So I’m not sure. It seems to be working. What do you think? So whether you like TikTok or not, we can make a lot of money.
