“President Trump will sign an additional Executive Order this week to keep TikTok up and running,” Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary, said in a statement. “As he has said many times, President Trump does not want TikTok to go dark. This extension will last 90 days, which the Administration will spend working to ensure this deal is closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure.”

This would be the third extension signed by Trump to stave off the shutdown or sale of TikTok—something he doesn’t have actual authority to do, by the way. What’s the point of making a big stink and passing a law over “national security” if it’ll just be ignored? As Mike Masnick notes at TechDirt, this third snooze button proves it was always bullshit.
