📰 Breaking News: Trump Says He Found a Buyer for TikTok (Again?)

The TikTok saga continues—and Trump just dropped a fresh twist.
At a recent rally, he claimed he’s “found a buyer” for TikTok, stirring the pot as the U.S. push to ban or force a sale of the app rolls on.

Here’s the recap:
🔹 TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, still faces a looming deadline to divest
🔹 Trump didn’t name the buyer—but said “they want it badly”
🔹 This comes after he recently said banning TikTok might actually “help Facebook,” which he sees as worse
🔹 TikTok, as usual, isn’t commenting yet

The big question: Is this just political posturing—or is a real deal actually on the table?

Either way, TikTok’s future in the U.S. is back in the headlines—and the drama’s not over yet.

Where AI-Driven Marketers Get Their Edge—Before Everyone Else

Let’s cut the noise—AI isn’t coming for marketing. It is marketing now.

The creators stacking 6–7 figures? They’re not relying on luck or watching YouTube tutorials.
They’re in the rooms where next-quarter strategies are born—before they trend on X.

AI Marketing World is that room.

Here’s what you’ll leave with:
✅ Playbooks the top 1% of marketers actually use
✅ Hands-on demos that build your next workflow live
✅ Tools and tactics you won’t see again until they hit everyone’s feed three months too late

No fluff. No panels that go nowhere. Just future-proof frameworks and the people who move fast with them.

This isn’t a vibe check. It’s a velocity check.

👉 Grab your pass now and get ahead—before it’s sold out.
