According to the Washington Post, Trump has been considering how to save the TikTok, discussing it through unconventional deals and legal means. According to two people familiar with the matter, Trump is considering issuing an executive order after taking office to suspend the implementation of TikTok "sell it or not" bill for 60 to 90 days. With more than 14 million followers on TikTok, Trump has been seeking to fulfill his campaign promise to "save TikTok". Trump hopes to sign the executive order soon after the deadline (the day before the inauguration) to make the process as exciting as a movie, one of the people said. But Mr. Trump's swift use of executive orders at the start of his first term has raised suspicions among some legal observers that Mr. Trump's words cannot fully overcome the law, which Congress has passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. Alan Rosenstein, a former national security adviser at the Department of Justice, commented that "executive orders are not magic documents, and TikTok will still be banned." Tip: The Washington Post's previous major coverage of tariffs has a dark history of being slammed as "fake news" by Mr. Trump himself.
