Summary
Donald Trump submitted a Supreme Court filing opposing a TikTok ban, citing his “dealmaking expertise” and promising to resolve national security concerns.
The brief advocates delaying the case to allow Trump to address it politically.
Legal experts criticized the filing for being overly self-promotional and unprecedented, with some mistaking it for satire.
Critics noted its unusual tone and highlighted the involvement of Trump’s potential solicitor general pick, D. John Sauer, in drafting the document.
The case concerns TikTok’s alleged violations of privacy laws and ties to China.
Which changes absolutely nothing to my argument, even if true (which I don’t think)
… Which means it’s not a Chinese company, bytedance is. It’s like saying Activision-Blizzard is a Chinese company because a large part of their shareholders are Chinese companies.
That’s now how business ownership works. Blindly repeating Trumps talking points makes you just look like a racist.

Tell me again how Trump wants to ban TikTok.
After using Twitter as a propaganda tool, he now sees another chance to influence naive voters. He’ll probably have it split up so his new best friend Elon Musk can take over.
