So pretty obviously what happened here was that Trump and the Chinese authorities struck a deal by which Trump would be given credit for not enforcing the ban that both he and Biden had already said they had no intention of enforcing.
The interesting question is: what did Trump give China in exchange?
He probably told them they could just keep the data and do whatever they want with it as long as they provide it to our social media companies in the US for free.
Imagine believing this conspiracy theory is "pretty obvious". Nobody even downvotes this kinda nonsense. Peak lib delusions.
Except of course it is obvious, and the only delusion here is the farcical idea that there's some legitimate explanation for the known facts unfolding the way they did.
Since you've so definitely rejected my explanation for why and how these particular facts unfolded as they did, you certainly must have some alternative explanation.
So let's see it.
Funny, you screech peak lib delusions. While defending two capitalist imperialist groups like a good little liberal yourself.
Trump isn't allowed to run charities anymore because he can't do anything without benefiting himself. Implying that he's doing this because it's right, or because he's a good guy who cares is peak conspiracy.
Likewise, implying that an imperialist capitalist authoritarian government like China and the companies they control. Who do this sort of thing all the time. Wouldn't do something simple like this to undermine and and attack one of their biggest global adversaries. Is also peak conspiracy theorist.
Eh, could be anything really. Could be just tiktok deciding to mess with trump. Could be many likely and unlikely scenarios. I just think that he took the money in exchange for health of the people of usa. It's not anything new, many presidents have done it, and for me its the biggest form of betrayal. Who cares about revealing some state secrets about their enemies, when those enemies are already dead.
