NextImg:Trump to wait for Supreme Court ruling before acting on TikTok ban

President-elect Donald Trump did not commit to any action before the Supreme Court rules on the impending ban on TikTok.

A law signed by President Joe Biden would force China-based ByteDance to sell TikTok for the social media platform to be hosted by app stores in the United States. As the divestiture deadline of Sunday approaches, the Supreme Court is considering the constitutionality of the ban.

Trump has long toted a “good experience” with TikTok since he joined the platform during his 2024 campaign. Less than a week after joining, Trump promised he would “never ban TikTok.” Since then, the president-elect has garnered over 14 million followers.

“I must say I was on TikTok for the election, and I won the young people by 36 points,” Trump said Monday on Newsmax’s Rob Schmitt Tonight. “No Republican’s ever won the young people. We won just about everything, but we won young people, and I think that’s a big, you know, a big credit to TikTok. So I’m not opposed to TikTok. I think, you know, let’s see what happens. I really have to wait to see what happens at the Supreme Court because nobody, nobody knows what they can do and who’s going to do it until they hear from the Supreme Court. They’re going to be making a ruling pretty soon.”

“The app’s great, it’s just it’s who owns it and what they do with the information, I guess, is the scary part, right?” host Rob Schmitt pressed Trump.

“There’s a little truth to that, yes,” Trump admitted while laughing.

YouTuber Mr. Beast and X owner Elon Musk have both teased buying TikTok themselves. TikTok has not pursued divestiture and opted instead to challenge the ban legally. Instead, spokesman Michael Hughes referred to the speculation as “pure fiction.”

“We can’t be expected to comment on pure fiction,” Hughes said in a comment to the Washington Examiner.
