Steve Bannon appears to bash ex-boss Donald Trump for flip-flopping on TikTok ban
NY Post
Former White House adviser Steve Bannon jumped on Donald Trump over his opposition to banning TikTok — suggesting his ex-boss’ objections may be motivated by a billionaire donor who holds a large stake in the Chinese-owned app.
Bannon, who was fired as a White House adviser after critical quotes about the then-president were reported in a book, posted a link on social media site Gettr to an Axios news story titled, “Inside Trump’s TikTok flip-flop.”
“Simple: Yass Coin,” Bannon wrote in the caption on the right-leaning microblogging site.
Bannon was referring to Jeff Yass, a major Republican Party donor who owns a 15% stake in TikTok owner ByteDance.
Trump, who is expected to get the Republican nod for a rematch against Joe Biden in November, was recently invited by Yass to speak at a gathering hosted by Club for Growth, a pro-business conservative group that also opposes a ban on TikTok.
The Post has sought comment from Trump.
