So let me guess, Trump saves Tik-Tok and will be celebrated by the youth in this country?

16. Not going to happen. He cant just "undo" the ban.

The law empowers the president to pause the ban for 90 days if TikTok shows it’s in the process of separating from ByteDance, so Trump could pause it once he takes office—which reports suggest he may do, as The Washington Post cited anonymous sources who said Trump is considering delaying the law for 60 to 90 days, and The New York Times similarly reported Trump could issue an executive order pausing the law until a deal with ByteDance is reached.

While any executive order could give time to negotiate a deal with ByteDance, if he pauses the law without actual evidence showing ByteDance is divesting, the executive order may not be legally sound, meaning it could be challenged in court and the ban could take effect anyway—or companies like Apple and Google could still take TikTok off their app stores regardless of what Trump says, in order to avoid any potential legal liability.

Trump could also similarly just declare TikTok in compliance with the law—regardless of whether or not it’s actually separated from ByteDance—University of Minnesota law professor Alan Rozenshtein noted, which would keep TikTok legal but similarly leave room for the move to be challenged in court or ignored by companies if ByteDance hasn’t actually divested.

Beyond that, Trump can’t do much: He could try to negotiate a deal for TikTok to be sold to a U.S. company so it would properly comply with the law, but if ByteDance isn’t willing to sell—which so far it isn’t—the ban will stay in effect unless Congress decides to repeal the law.
