[@Dream.big.dreams]

Most people have forgotten that the ban on TikTok was Traitor tRUMP’s response to people booking tickets at his rallies, and not showing up. If you think back, Traitor tRUMP was so excited that one of his rallies was sold out completely, and when he got there more than 80% of the people didn’t show up because TikTok users had reserved all of the tickets, and so about 4 to 5 days after that Traitor tRUMP announced that he would work to ban TikTok.
