Many tech leaders and companies have courted President-elect Donald J. Trump in recent weeks. From Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg to Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos, they have visited Mr. Trump at Mar-a-Lago, flattered him on X and donated to his inaugural fund.
But TikTok has taken those methods to the next level.

It even built its flattery right into the app so its 170 million American users could see it:
“As a result of President Trump’s efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.!,” a pop-up message on Sunday read. [emphasis added]
