Is Trump going after TikTok because Sarah Cooper is driving him nuts?

Critics Convinced Trump Wants TikTok Banned Because Sarah Cooper Is Driving Him Nuts

https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/sarah-cooper-tiktok-trump-conspiracy-071326341.html


Trump says he has security concerns about TikTok becasue it’s owned by the Chinese. But perhaps not so coincidentally many users have forged a strong anti-Trump identity.

TikTok users in June flooded the Trump campaign with fake requests for seat reservations at the president’s Tulsa, Oklahoma, rally, and proudly took a bow for the thousands of empty seats on the big day.

More recently, they savaged the Trump campaign app with vicious reviews to hit back at the president following his first announcement last month — after the Tulsa rally — that he was going to shut TikTok down.

Cooper was back trolling Trump on Friday over his threats against TikTok in a skit called “How to tick tock” on YouTube (see the video up top), and “How to tick tack” on Twitter. “This wasn’t made with TikTok,” Cooper smirked when reposting another skit Friday about Trump’s cognitive abilities.

That being said, TikTok is malware, and if you have it on your device, you should delete it immediately. Just google "TikTok is malware", and you will see what I'm talking about. Trump is actually doing the right thing here--for the first time in his miserable life.

And you're right about Tulsa. That's also a pretty common theme going around the TikTok universe.

And no, I don't have TikTok on my 20th century flip phone

Call me a Luddite, but all I need is something that can make a phone call in an emergency. That's what I have.

...about the Unstable Moron. To a traitor like Dumpy, that’s an existential threat.

Throw in the added 'indignity' of a black woman daring to mock him publicly, and I can believe it's driving him nuts.
