They love it.
00:01
Is it that important for China to be spying on young people, on young kids watching crazy
00:06
videos I think?
00:07
So President Donald Trump is brushing off concerns that TikTok is a big worry for spying.
00:14
He says the real danger from China is just cell phones.
00:17
They make your telephones and they make your computers and they make a lot of other things.
00:21
Isn't that a bigger threat?
00:22
You mean we're going to lose our cell phones now?
00:24

01:02
out and said, you shouldn't listen to Musk, you should listen to Trump.
01:06
That was it to me.
01:07
And Musk came out and he said, that really hurt my heart.
01:09
You can't do that!
