Trump says TikTok is a national security threat, Facebook is 'enemy of the people'
"Former President Donald Trump said he believes that TikTok is a national security threat, but that he couldn't support Congress banning the popular app because doing so would boost support for Facebook, which is the "enemy of the people."
Asked whether he believes TikTok is a national security threat during an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Monday morning, Trump said, “I do believe that.”
“I do believe it, and we have to very much admit we are protecting American people’s privacy and data rights,” he said.
Trump had initially supported efforts to ban the app in the U.S., but recently reversed his support. Pressed on why he flipped, Trump said he could have banned TikTok during his presidency, but left it up to Congress to do so."
