In an extraordinary flex of executive authority, Trump is finalizing plans for investor groups that include Blackrock and Oracle, Bloomberg News reported, bringing them in for a planned White House meeting on Wednesday.
Such a group could save the company from a legal deadline to shutdown barring a sale – after Trump extended the statutory date....
Trump said in the Oval Office Monday he had the ability to extend the deadline again, as he seeks to finalize an ownership group.
'I can extend if I want,' Trump said. 'But we have a lot of enthusiasm for Tiktok, for buying it. I think Tiktok is good. I used it – I was a great Tiktok guy,' Trump said. MSN
Trump thinks being a gangster, acting like a gangster and behaving like a gangster, he can do anything he wants, take anything he wants, including TikTok, Gaza and Greenland. Trump forgot that TikTok has a master that is as big as the USA, not a puny state like Denmark. He better ask Xi whether Xi would be willing to let him have TikTok.
China does not need the money, TikTok does not need the American market. TikTok is used worldwide and America is only a fraction of its market. TikTok can afford to give up the American market. But can Trump afford to offend the more than 160m American TikTok users? His voter base would be affected and undermined if he dares to offend 160m voters. The lie about national security cannot hold water in the case of TikTok. Calling wolf over and over again is losing its effect. No one is believing in this silly American security ruse to take over TikTok or even Greenland and Canada.
Trump's art of the deal or art of the steal is being put to test in this TikTok acquisition and also in the acquisition of Lik Ka Shing's ports. Xi would not be bullied or pushed around by this gangster Trump. TikTok and Li Ka Shing's ports are national assets of China and cannot be bought at any price. They are not for sale. China also has national interests to look after. Xi is not afraid of gangsters and rogues.

Trump's only art that works is his 'Art of the Bankruptcies'. His seventh bankruptcy will be historic, bringing down a superpower. In its wake will also be pulling down others like Tesla and Nvidia, Car makers like Ford, Apple among others. Not to talk about chip makers building factories in Arizona, but selling to who?
