"There is credible evidence that leads me to believe that ByteDance ... might take action that threatens to impair the national security of the United States," Trump said in the order. The order was seen as good news for TikTok -- a wildly popular short form video sharing app -- and its future in the U.S., at least relative to an earlier executive order from Trump last week. The prior order could have forced U.S. based app stores to stop distributing the TikTok app if its parent ByteDance did not reach a deal to divest from it in 45 days.Under the latest order, ByteDance is expected to destroy all its copies of TikTok data attached to U.S. users.

He’s the President. He could issue an executive order citing National Security; their lawsuit is ‘frivolous and W/out merit.’ That’s a legal term and they will be defeated. It is what it is. A joke.
