Since the circus came to the White House, there are so many things happening I can’t keep track. A car show in the front driveway with only one vendor there. I wonder what the other car manufacturers thought about being left out. They’ve been engineering cars and trucks, retooling factories and building battery manufacturing facilities. Why were they left out? Aren’t they also great companies with smart people? I guess not. One question that keeps coming back to me and hasn’t been in the news recently is: What happened to TikTok? Both branches of the legislature passed bi-partisan legislation calling for TikTok to be shut down due to national security concerns. TikTok fought it all the way to the Supreme Court and the court upheld the law agreeing it was in the national interest to remove TikTok. In February, for about 6-8 hours, TikTok went dark. However, through an executive order, it was brought back for 30 days so the “smartest man” on the planet could find a buyer. I haven’t heard if there’s a buyer or even an interested party. 30 days have passed — shouldn’t the law be upheld? This is another example of President Trump thumbing his nose at the other co-equal branches of our government.
