On March 11, former President Donald Trump, who once attempted to remove TikTok from American app stores, said. “Without TikTok, you can make Facebook bigger, and I consider Facebook to be an enemy of the people.”. Trump went on to say that "there's a lot of good and there's a lot of bad" with TikTok. There are a lot of people on TikTok that love it. There are a lot of young kids on TikTok who will go crazy without it, Donald Trump, to CNBC. Lawmakers have sought to limit TikTok's reach in recent years due to fears that the Beijing government will access Americans' private data. If China wants anything from [TikTok], they will give it, so that’s a national security risk [that] goes up, Donald Trump, to CNBC. But when I look at it, I’m not looking to make Facebook double the size. , Donald Trump, to CNBC. And if you if you ban TikTok, Facebook and others — but mostly Facebook — will be a big beneficiary, and I think Facebook has been very busy, Donald Trump, to CNBC. I think Facebook has been very bad for our country, especially when it comes to elections. , Donald Trump, to CNBC
