Matt Novak / @paleofuture : “While there is no clear legal basis for the extensions, so far there have been no legal challenges to fight them.” Truth Social: Donald J. Trump / @realDonaldTrump@truthsocial.com : I've just signed the Executive Order extending the Deadline for the TikTok closing for 90 days (September 17, 2025). Thank you for your attention to this matter! — [images] X: Congressman Brad Sherman / @bradsherman : The law allows only one single extension, so Trump's failure to enforce it is illegal. However, the Chinese owners of TikToK have announced they are buying “Trump Coins” for $300 million. Trump creates “Trump Coins” at no cost, meaning this is just a $300 million bribe that goes right into his pocket. @trumpdailyposts : I've just signed the Executive Order extending the Deadline for the TikTok closing for 90 days (September 17, 2025). Thank you for your attention to this matter! Dan Primack / @danprimack : Reminder that every time Trump extends the TikTok divestiture deadline, he's violating the law. Brian Stelter / @brianstelter : The @TrumpWarRoom tweet about Trump granting TikTok *another* 90-day extension in enforcement of the sale-or-ban law has a community note stating he has “no legal authority” to do so [image] Peter Kafka / @pkafka : You guys. I don't think Donald Trump - or anyone who voted for the TikTok sale-or-ban - is taking the TikTok sale-or-ban very seriously. [image] Adam Cochran / @adamscochran : So Mr “Art of the Deal” has: -Not made a TikTok deal (again) -Not reached a major trade deal with any partner, other than agreements to continue talking. -Agreed to a handshake deal with China as an interim, that was worse than the status quo. -Failed to implement the 2025 Gaza Jonah Goldberg / @jonahdispatch : Um there's nothing in the law (or the Constitution) that allows for this. Frank Luntz / @frankluntz : TikTok has been given its third 90-day extension of this year to find an American buyer or be banned from operating in the U.S. The law was passed by overwhelming bipartisan votes in the House (360-58) and Senate (79-18) last year, and had an initial deadline of January 19th. Chris Fralic / @chrisfralic : While there is no clear legal basis for the extensions, so far there have been no legal challenges to fight them. Trump has credited the trendsetting platform with helping him gain traction among young voters. He said in January that he has a “warm spot for TikTok.” Michael Freeman / @michaelpfreeman : One man deciding he doesn't have to abide by laws he doesn't like. Heath Mayo / @heathmayo : This is lawless—nothing in statute or otherwise permits the President to the extend the deadline like this. If you were wondering what all the “No Kings” protests were about, this was part of it. Richard Hoeg / @hoeglaw : It would be a silly reason, but for real ‘rule of law’ folks, the extra legal extensions of the applicability of an active law *is* in my view worthy of an impeachment discussion. (But no one's going to fight that hard about TikTok) Charles C. W. Cooke / @charlescwcooke : Brazenly illegal. Aaron Reichlin-Melnick / @reichlinmelnick : Remember when they impeached Secretary Mayorkas for allegedly not enforcing laws? Stephen L. Miller / @redsteeze : The one thing he does actually act like a king on is of course the one thing Democrats are glad he's doing. @shiralazar : President Trump just signed an executive order giving TikTok a 90-day extension. At this point... can we all agree it's never actually getting banned? #TikTok [image] Adam Loewy / @loewylawfirm : Funny anyone thought Trump was ever banning TikTok. Lot of Rs suddenly quiet about “national security concerns” with the app Josh Rogin / @joshrogin : President Trump has declared he won't enforce the law restricting U.S. firms from working with TikTok, despite that he seems to be openly defying not only the law but a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling. #facepalm Jack Goldsmith / @jacklgoldsmith : My take on Trump's second and still-illegal extension of his order declining enforcement of the TikTok ban and seeking to wipe out private liability under the law, with assessment of implications. https://executivefunctions.substack.com / ... [image] @thefp : The FP's @EliLake took the “new media” seat at today's White House press briefing—asking about President Trump's constitutional authority to extend the TikTok ban despite the Supreme Court's recent decision. @PressSec: “The White House Council and Department of Justice strongly [video] Gordon G. Chang / @gordongchang : Prez Trump's granting another extension to TikTok has almost certainly emboldened Xi Jinping and China's other leaders to delay coming to terms on tariffs and trade. I'm not saying the Chinese are right, but they must be thinking they can push Trump around. Adam Kovacevich / @adamkovac : I joined @livenowfox today to talk about the TikTok “law” that Congress passed, which Trump has no intention of ever enforcing [video] Nu Wexler / @wexler : Your regular reminder that Trump's TikTok “extensions” are not a thing. The law allowed one 90-day extension that expired in April. These executive orders are just announcements that he isn't enforcing the law. Rakesh Agrawal / @rakeshsfnyc : Correct answer is zero. But it doesn't matter if no one enforces n Nu Wexler / @wexler : Your regular reminder that Trump's TikTok “extensions” are not a thing. The law allowed one 90-day extension that expired in April.
