'Stop being childish': MAGA fans flip out on Trump after early morning TikTok plea
Following the closure of TikTok late Saturday night, Donald Trump jumped on his Truth Social account to throw his support, once again, behind the embattled social media platform.
Hours before the platform was supposed to shut down, the ownership pulled the plug themselves with a message now popping up that saysd, in part: "Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now,” before adding, “We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!”
President-elect Trump returned the message in kind on Truth Socials, simply writing: "SAVE TIKTOK!"

Not all of his supporters agreed in the responses with more than a few leery of the Chinese connection.
As T.W. Fuller, who claims, "Conservatism is moving America forward," wrote, "Save America first, then we can worry about what happens to TikTok. But if TikTok is to be saved, make it American owned, and make it safe for everyone who uses it."
"Only if China doesn’t own it, I don’t want them to steal my information," added Rich Rhonda whose bio reads, "Jesus is my King.Trump is my President."
"Please enforce the law. No mercy for TikTok. Red book, lemon 8, etc. should be banned, or forced to divest also," begged CedarRockSC who has praised Trump's alliance with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
