I see a lot of people blaming Trump for the TikTok-Oracle-Ellison fiasco, so people need to be reminded it was Biden and the Democrats who pushed and signed the TikTok ban. Trump just used the ban to run his usual grift by skimming a bit off the top of the sale. Ellison is now turning the site into Truth Social Video and all the "progressive" creators are crying over their loss of revenue. Boo hoo.

It started with Trump in 2020 and then Biden continued with it
