Talk about a "holy s***" moment ... check out this insane video of a boy in China getting literally blown off his feet after a sewer explodes underneath him.

Donald Trump's taking credit for keeping TikTok alive ... but, people online aren't buying it -- accusing the 47th POTUS and the social media app of a PR stunt.

Here's the deal ... Trump hopped onstage during his victory rally Sunday -- one of the many events celebrating his election victory over the weekend ahead of Monday's official inauguration.

During the speech, Trump talked TikTok ... mentioning how he used the app to win the 2024 election -- claiming it helped him win the youth vote. Trump did win over more voters in the 18-29 age bracket -- and, he even gained more votes from 18-29-year-old men than Kamala Harris.

Donald Trump showed off his best dances moves at his victory rally Sunday ... pulling out his viral "Trump Dance" while the Village People belted "Y.M.C.A."

God, like Make America f**king Great again I guess. God!"

On Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social account, "SAVE TIKTOK!" and said he will "issue an executive order on Monday to extend the period of time before the law’s prohibitions take effect, so that we can make a deal to protect our national security. The order will also confirm that there will be no liability for any company that helped keep TikTok from going dark before my order."

Entrepreneur and philanthropist Bethenny Frankel was on TikTok Live with Alix Earle and Spencer Pratt discussing the shut down ... literally as it happened.

Jason Derulo is feeling optimistic about TikTok's fate ... despite the ticking countdown to the social media app's ban in the United States.

The surprise shopper is none other than a coyote, however ... and two officers poke and prod the deli section with brooms.

Fiery road rage turned icy fast -- a woman threw a punch at a man and got viciously body-slammed onto the frozen pavement, and it was all caught on camera.

The dispute went down in Toledo, Ohio earlier this month -- a blue sedan screeched to a stop, and a woman jumped out, cussing up a storm at the driver behind her. The chaos escalated when a man climbed out of the other car’s passenger side to confront her.

Looks like the man tried to calm her down ... but as he walked away, the woman threw an unprovoked punch from behind, smacking him in the face. He didn't hold back -- firing a punch of his own before lifting her and slamming her to the ground with a thud.
