14. It helped Trump win. He's planning to write an EO to save it.

Trump, who has committed to "save TikTok," is considering an executive order that would suspend the ban from going into effect for 60 to 90 days, the Washington Post and CNN reported.

After the Supreme Court's decision, Trump told CNN: “It ultimately goes up to me, so you’re going to see what I’m going to do,."

Asked in the same interview whether he would take measures to try and reverse the pending ban, Trump said he’ll “be making the decision.” He added, “Congress has given me the decision, so I’ll be making the decision."

Trump was able to use TikTok effectively during the 2024 presidential campaign in his appeal to young voters. The video app has about 170 million American users.
