  • Trump's change of heart came days after he met with a billionaire investor with 15% stake in TikTok.

Republican former President Donald Trump recently said he is against banning Tiktok, a reversal from his previous position. His comments came just days after meeting with a billionaire GOP donor with a large stake in the company.

On March 8, Trump argued on Truth Social, "If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business."
