Former U.S. President Donald Trump dropped a bombshell 🧨 during a Fox News interview, claiming he’s lined up a group of "very wealthy people" to buy TikTok. The viral video app’s fate hangs in the balance as geopolitical tensions and election-year politics collide. 💥
Trump hinted the mystery buyers’ identities will be revealed in two weeks, adding that China’s approval is likely needed—and predicted Beijing would greenlight the deal. 🇨🇳✅ The announcement comes after multiple deadline extensions for ByteDance, TikTok’s China-based parent company, to sell its U.S. assets or face a shutdown.
This isn’t the first TikTok rescue attempt: A spring deal to spin off TikTok’s U.S. operations stalled after China balked at Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods. Now, with a January 19 deadline looming, the app’s 150 million U.S. users—and Trump’s young voter base 🗳️—are watching closely. Will this high-stakes deal go viral… or get canceled? 🚨
