Yes, but now the cheque cleared. Or he’s just trying to suck up to Xi, you know one or the other.

Or he can use it and adjust the algorithms to promote himself. Probably use for surveillance too

Inconsistency is the only thing Trump can be counted on to do reliably.

If you were under the illusion that Trump is going to improve the situation for the Palestinians in any way, I have a bridge to sell you…

They’re closely related issues. Zios have been trying to ban TikTok because of the unfiltered coverage of Palestine.

It’s delusional to think he was ever going to do anything but accelerate the genocide.

He is going to help pave over Palestine, not save it.

What part is good? That he vowed to force ownership into U.S. hands for security reasons, or that now he vowed to stop himself?
