Barron Trump tipped for top job at TikTok after dad tells users they 'owe' him for saving platform

Donald Trump’s 19-year-old son, Barron, could be in the running for a top job at TikTok, according to the president’s former social media manager.

Trump has previously claimed that he “saved” TikTok and that users now “owe” his government for allowing it to remain available in the US.

Jack Advent, the president’s 22-year-old former social media manager, joined in by saying that Trump should give his teen son a position on the social media platform to broaden its appeal for young people.

'Young people are overwhelmingly the user base of TikTok,” Advent told the Daily Mail. “I'm hopeful President Trump will consider appointing his son Barron and maybe other young Americans to TikTok's board to help ensure it remains an app young people want to keep using.”

If it is, as I used to think, a corporation in the private sector, how can Trump appoint anybody to any position there?

Maybe Trump is bringing back the Volkseigener Betrieb. Heil Honecker! Socialism is back! (Better not tell Mike Johnson or Lindsey Graham, or they’ll lose their breakfast all over you)

Put him in a position and use that instead of letting the public view him as a college drop-out.
