Actually, he doesn't. Executive orders have been abused for years. But be that as it may.
I'm wondering what else he would ban if he could. If Donald Trump on a censoring rampage doesn't rattle your slats, nothing will.
Thank god he's semi-literate.

It may be a good idea to ban TikTok since it is essentially Spyware, but I have the feeling that Trump has some other motive.

Agreed. He either has intelligence reports of TikTok’s spyware danger or he’s still pissed folks on TikTok conspired to buy all his Tulsa rally tickets and not show, so it would look bad. I think it’s both.

Interesting times.

I repeat Tim Tok is being sold to a US company. Trump’s comment is essentially meaningless.
I repeat again...it’s in the sales process.

Interesting to see if they can get it done in 45 days.
I am sure that Byte Dance has a higher expectation of what they think Tiki's Tok is worth.

"After days of whiplash over the future of TikTok, President Donald Trump said he would allow an American company to acquire the short-form video app — with a catch.
"In an unusual declaration, Trump also said any deal would have to include a "substantial amount of money" coming to the US Treasury.
"The President's requirement that some of the money from the deal go to the US Treasury doesn't have a basis in antitrust law, according to Gene Kimmelman, a former chief counsel for the US Department of Justice's Antitrust Division . . . 'This is quite unusual, this is out of the norm," Kimmelman said. "It's actually quite hard to understand what the president is actually talking about here.'"
Welcome to the world, Gene.
