Beauty influencer James Charles went on Instagram in dramatic fashion, admitting he was already feeling the loss saying, “I don’t know what to do! I’ve already opened and closed the app 6 times already just to keep getting the same warning message.” He later confessed, “Now I’m rooting for Trump?! Ew! God, like Make America f**king Great again I guess. God!”
On Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social account, “SAVE TIKTOK!” The comment comes one day after Trump told NBC News he would most likely give TikTok a 90-day grace period as he assesses the situation after his inauguration on Monday.
