That’s All, Folks: Tik Tok Signs Off in the US for Now Until Trump Restores it On Monday

Share

Tik tok, you don’t stop.

But they have stopped. Tik Tok is now signed off in the United States thanks to the Supreme Court.

Even Trump’s appointees went against him.

But Trump is planning a Tik Tok comeback. He will more than likely restore the service after he’s sworn in Monday. He’s even got the CEO Shou Zi Chew as a VIP at the inauguration.

So really, it’s barely a 48 hour break from the mishegos on Tik Tok. The Temu Shop will have to take a breather.

What will all the “content creators” do with their time? Read a book? No. Wait til the withdrawal sets in.
