    Given that he was the one that called for it to be banned extremely vocally, and he’s not been able to keep it banned for more than a few hours even as the now leader of that country, seemingly caving under pressure to flip his stance on the matter (showing off the bat that he’s very politically weak)…

    I don’t see how this makes him look anything but weak, or inept.

      Ahh, but see you’re been following this over several months/years, or looked up what actually happened. You’re not the target for this dupe.

      This tactic works incredibly well as you’ll find you are outside the norm. I still remember people ranting about how Obama was late responding to Hurricane Katrina.

      Welcome to Politics 2.0 where the information is freely available but the facts don’t matter.

      “Caving under pressure”? This is a massive win for him, he just got every single major corp app out there to agree to push his agenda and thrawrt his opponents. How many posts today have been showing search results in various apps being fucky?

      Bytedance didnt have to block their app yesterday, they did it perfomantly, and virtually everyone bought it hook like and sinker.

      You are dreaming if you think the perception of this event to the average person is the weakness of a certain inflated organge hemmoroid.

      His cohort of billionare buddys now control discussion and content on a hugely concerning portion of all public communication channels that currently exist.

      Humans on average are already disappointingly stupid. Now this administration is actively discoraging free, critical thought and discussion and encouraging the use of algorithmically powered, emotionally draining, knowledge obfuscating, personal data collection software viruses that people willingly install.

      On those apps he and his friends look like amazing heroes, and will for the next 4 years, regardless of the events of reality. Then we will have to vote with millions of people who only use these apps for information. Best of luck to us all.
