The Washington Post published the article below which includes information on Trump’s change in position to pro TikTok. It leaves out his contacts with Republican donors, one who owns a share of TikTok. These discussions presumably were influential in changing his position. Trump responds to people who give him money. I wrote a tweet reply to the Post on this but they haven’t added anything to their article.
