ChainCatcher news, according to the Washington Post, Trump has been considering how to save TikTok, discussing unconventional deals and legal measures. According to two insiders, Trump is contemplating issuing an executive order shortly after taking office to suspend the enforcement of the TikTok "sell or be banned" law for 60 to 90 days.

Trump has over 14 million followers on TikTok and has been seeking to fulfill his campaign promise to "save TikTok." One insider said that Trump hopes to sign the executive order shortly after the deadline (the day before the inauguration), making the process as dramatic as a movie.

However, the strategy of using executive orders that Trump quickly adopted during his first term has raised doubts among some legal observers, who believe that Trump's words cannot entirely override laws passed by Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support. Former National Security Advisor to the U.S. Department of Justice, Alan Rosenstein, commented, "Executive orders are not magical documents; TikTok will still be banned."
