Former President Trump spoke to Fox News' Howard Kurtz this weekend about his apparent shift on his support for a TikTok ban, explaining why he thinks a ban is a bad idea.
During an exclusive interview with Fox News Channel’s 'MediaBuzz' on Sunday, former President Trump warned that U.S. lawmakers shouldn’t ban TikTok because it would benefit Facebook, which he called a 'worse' social media platform.
He posted to Truth Social on Wednesday, writing, 'If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business. I don't want Facebook, who cheated in the last Election, doing better. They are a true Enemy of the People!' Trump told Kurtz about his current perspective on the Chinese-owned platform, stating, 'There’s a danger to banning it with, you know, freedom of speech – there’s many different problems.
