Donald Trump appears to support TikTok and doesn’t plan on banning it if he gets into office. This change of heart comes as no surprise when you consider that one of the big investors of the app is also a mega-donor for Trump, the man really needs something to give younger voters, and the platform has become a haven for pro-Trump content in recent months.

“Now [that] I’m thinking about it, I’m for TikTok, because you need competition,” Trump told Bloomberg Businessweek in an interview conducted back in June and published on Tuesday. “If you don’t have TikTok, you have Facebook and Instagram—and that’s, you know, that’s Zuckerberg.”
