Background
Donald Trump has recently shifted his stance on TikTok, now opposing potential bans despite previously attempting to force its sale during his presidency. He has made public statements and campaign promises suggesting he would prevent a TikTok ban, contrasting with his earlier position.
Resolution Criteria
This market will resolve based on the following conditions:
YES if TikTok is not banned in the US AND Trump publicly claims credit for preventing/reversing the ban through statements, social media posts, or campaign communications
NO if TikTok is banned in the US
NO if TikTok remains unbanned but Trump does not make public statements claiming credit for this outcome
For resolution purposes, "taking credit" means Trump must explicitly connect himself to TikTok remaining available in the US, through statements like "I saved TikTok" or similar claims of personal influence on the outcome.
Considerations
The House passed a bill in March 2024 that could lead to a TikTok ban if ByteDance doesn't sell the app
Trump's campaign team has indicated he "will deliver" on promises regarding TikTok
The situation remains fluid with ongoing legal challenges and political developments
Resolution will depend on both the final status of TikTok in the US and Trump's public communications about his role in the outcome
