In a Fox News interview, Trump said he had a group of "very wealthy people" willing to acquire the platform. "I'll tell you in about two weeks," he teased.

Two weeks is his standard bullshit timeline for when he doesn't want to admit he's got nothing

    Last time he left Daddy Putin a message, he didn't call back. But then Daddy Netanyahu called, and he said that he didn't think Trump had the balls to bomb Iran. That's why it took less than 2 weeks.

    In order to make sure they were wealthy enough, I'm sure he personally tested them one by one, challenging to send him a big donation in cryptocurrencies.

    That's what a committed President-slash-genius looks like!

    Ah, so now the president chooses who gets to buy which businesses, totally not choosing the ones who will cock suck him all day.

    And TikTok will not be the last. Now a wealthy person can just ask the US to buy up something. Doesnt sound like Russia at all.
