I've wondered if this has all been because TikTok influencers famously tricked team Trump into thinking they had a full stadium for a rally that turned out to be humiliatingly empty.

But this seems overly petty for even Trump, it's just bizarre.

Nothing is overly petty for him.

I'm fascinated by these downvotes. Is HN super pro-Trump, or are we just dealing with raging cases of "rationalist" enlightened centrism?

American politicians have been worried about TikTok since long before that incident, and it's not just Trump-aligned people with concerns.
