23. Everthing he does is for the sake of monetization

The things he does that seem to just sit an linger, I suspect he has found something he feels could be very valuable that he hasn't been successful in monetizing for himself yet. I think TIkTok is in that category, Congress has voted it be banned if not sold, Tump keeps extending the deadline to get it sold before it is banned in the US. Why? What does he care if Tiktok is banned or sold. It is something about what is in it for HIM. He doesn't do anything for any other reason, if it's not about him at best he does nothing. There is (or he thinks there is) something in it for him keeping Tik toc alive and having HIS administration help finding a buyer. Why? I imagine if the deadline was real and going to be enforced, they would have found a way to comply already. I suspect Trump hasn't gotten what he feels he could out of it yet, so it lingers?
