Trump shoots from the hip, a lot of time it hits things that benefits him, and more often than not he shoots himself in the foot.

I’m gonna become the joker.
To be serious, it still looks like he’s working with the law but is leveraging it to make it a win. The 90 day extension was always an option if a sale was being drawn up. I think he’ll act like he’s ’in negotiation’ for a US sale and either bring it back to wide praise or ban it and say he gave them every chance. Either way Dems fucked this up.

Absolutely insane. They said Biden didn’t offer enough assurance that he won’t enforce the ban, but have gotten enough assurance from Trump to reopen it, while BIDEN IS STILL PRESIDENT?
This is a goddamn psyop to boost Trump’s popularity.

Bytedance and Trump are literally scheming this out together
