    President Biden on Wednesday will revoke a Trump-era executive order that sought to ban the popular app TikTok and replace it with one that calls for a broader review of a number of foreign-controlled applications that could pose a security risk to Americans and their data. According to a memo circulated by the Commerce Department and obtained by The New York Times, the order will address a number of applications and bolster recent actions the Biden administration has taken to curb the growing influence of Chinese technology companies.

This is total BS. What Trump tried to do is not let the fox in the hen house. What Biden is doing is letting the fox in the hen house and is telling the fox you can stay as long as you do not kill the chicken's or eat the eggs. The problem is about the time we see a real problem damage will be done. The only way this can work is for these companies cave in the same way Google has caved into China.

If Trump wasn’t busy stroking his ego at thr expense of others, more people like me would have voted for him and he would be in office. But his culture war against half of America wasn’t appetizing to thr majority of Americans and here we are.
Yes, Trump is an ass, but his policies worked. On the other hand, you are, because of emotional reaction to a politician could not make a rational choice and got what you got.
What does that says about you?

"Trump-era". Even that wording is meant to diminish Trump like it was sooo long ago. His policies were designed to have immediate effects unlike Congress and House tactics like hearings on big social media. Both parties get photo ops, Zuck et al bla bla, and nothing happens. Along with Biden undoing what works, restoring problems and disasters, I have yet to hear a Biden voter answer a simple q. What policy of Biden, what results from Biden and his administration, do you like? Online or IRL I hear no answer other than he's not Trump.

I agree he's an ass but I disagree about his policies, they didn't work worth very well. His protectionism and punitive tariffs were myopic and petty moves. No thought whatsoever to the future and his regimes massive mishandling of the pandemic cost so many lives it's pathetic. Sleepy Joe might be a puppet but at least he has smarter puppeteers and because the US has a 2 party system there isn't a choice. Joe wasn't voted in as much as trump was voted out.

Agree 100% (almost ) Trump can only blame on himself for not sitting as a POTUS for another period.

We all have an ego and we all have little narcissi in ourselves but Trump was the world champion when it comes to stroking own ego and narcissism.

That’s your opinion. Doesn’t mean it’s correct one.

I agree totally. He f'ed up, and because of his ego (not his skill) we are now going to have to SUFFER because of him for the next 3.5 years, and because of this I am not going to vote for him again unless the Republican's bring RINO's against him again. Somebody in his circle needs to have a frank talk (Ivanka)

But that something happens very, very slowly because it is a complex problem to reach congress at all. So hearings etc, accumulate into future action but over time. Change is the place for patience in life.
