And starting today, TikTok is back. So, you know, I did a little TikTok thing, we have a guy, TikTok Jack, he’s a little kid, like 21 years old. And we hired this guy and I got on TikTok; Can you believe what I will do to win an election? And we got on TikTok and the Republicans never won the young vote, the youth vote. They get a lot of votes, but they never won the youth vote. We won the youth vote by 36 points. That’s why I like TikTok. I like it. I had a slightly good experience, don’t you think?
Romney lost it by 40 points not long ago. We won it by 36 points. That is a very big difference. But I said, we have to save TikTok, because we’re talking about a tremendous: who, who in this audience is going with TikTok? Many? Yes, very popular. And frankly, we have no choice, we have to save a lot of jobs. We don’t want to give our business to China, we don’t want to give our business to other people. And I said, you know, TikTok without my approval, I mean, the president’s approval because Congress gave the president the right to make a deal on whatever he wants and uh… they did it a long time ago when they had a president different. I guess they didn’t know I was going to be with the president.
So I said very simply: a joint venture. So if TikTok is worth nothing, zero without approval, you know you don’t approve, they’re out of business, they’re worthless.
If you approve them, they are worth like a billion dollars, they are worth a crazy amount. So I said, I’ll approve it, but I’ll let the United States of America own 50% of TikTok. I approve it on behalf of the United States.
Then they will have a partner, the United States, and they will have many bidders and the United States will form what we call a joint venture. And there is no risk, we will not contribute any money. All we do is give them approval without which they have nothing. So, I don’t know, it seems to work. What do you think, okay? So whether you like TikTok or not, we’re going to make a lot of money.
