Isn't this just banning it from app stores?

I'm pretty sure you'll still be able to install and use the application itself.

No one can force you to delete apps that are already downloaded. Every time an App ban had came out in the US Ive only seen them stopping being allowed to be downloaded. The Epic vs Apple fight is a prime example. You can still play Fortnite on your phone. You just cant download it anymore and Apple wont push any of Epics updates to the game.

With this information in mind, while it's likely that it isn't the only reason as to why he's made this decision, it is most likely a major part.

I disagree. In my opinion if it wasnt for the extremely sketchy practices that China is performing through the app, the trump admin wouldnt have given it a second thought. I think youre underestimating his ego by magnitudes.

Bullshit. If that was the case it would've been banned long ago. Yet no noise was made until recently.

Anyone saying this isn't exclusively about him getting embarrassed at Tulsa is probably a cultist. Trump does not give one iota of a shit about China, and in fact often boasts of how "close" he is with Xi.

If it were literally anyone else, even in his own administration then yeah.

But not Trump. His track record doesn't help him in the slightest in regards to how he acts when he feels slighted, much less insulted in any regard.

It only came to light recently. Mainstream coverage started popping up mid July.

Yeah, trump and China certainly havent been pissing each other off constantly the past few years.

Maybe I missed it, but did he comment on tiktok users fucking up his rally? Some sort of petty blanket insult against all of them after it happened?

No. It's Donnie being mad at Zoomer because they hurt his feelings. If they did not make him cry, it would not happen. I think the data concern is perfectly reasonable, but that's not why it's banned.
