JUST IN: Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to delay the deadline for a potential TikTok ban, which is currently set for the day before his inauguration.

“President Trump alone possesses the consummate dealmaking expertise, the electoral mandate, and the political will to negotiate a resolution to save the platform while addressing the national security concerns,” wrote D. John Sauer, one of Trump’s personal appellate attorneys. 

This is a reminder that back in August 2020, Trump signed an executive order to ban TikTok, citing national security concerns over its Chinese ownership. However, earlier this year, after meeting with billionaire mega-donor Jeff Yass—who has a stake in TikTok—and receiving a substantial donation, Trump abruptly changed his stance and began speaking favorably about the platform.

A total fraud!
