Did Notoriously Corrupt Philadelphia GOP Billionaire Bribe Trump To Change His Position On TikTok?
Trump doesn’t want to fully torch his anti-globalist reputation. As bad as it looks— it is actually bad— it’s worth keeping in mind Trump is sufficiently influential among Republicans that he could kill the divestiture overnight if that’s what he really wanted. Instead, he published a transparently ..
