WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Donald Trump announced yesterday another extension for the sale of TikTok, this time pushing the deadline to December 16th.
Sitting at his desk in the Oval office, Trump gloriously declared, “It’s TACO time!” before waving a tortilla in the air like a victory flag.
This marks at least the third time Trump has granted TikTok more breathing room, leading many to wonder if the entire process is less about national security and more about perfecting a nacho recipe.
“Every time he extends the deadline, we start ordering taco kits in bulk, just in case,” admitted one White House staffer from his previous administration. “By now, the interns are experts at guacamole.”
Political analysts are baffled but amused. Some suggest the repeated extensions may be Trump’s way of keeping TikTok’s fate hanging in the balance for dramatic effect, while others argue it’s simply an excuse for themed press conferences.
TikTok users are already capitalizing on the moment, flooding the app with videos of synchronized taco dances and tortilla-flipping challenges.
One popular trend features creators lip-syncing Trump’s “It’s TACO time!” proclamation while covered in shredded cheese.
For now, the world waits to see if December 16th will finally be the last extension — or just another great moment to shout “It’s TACo time!” again.
