The “No Kings” protest was a joke, with Democrat activists pushing their pet causes and impotently screaming into the political void. However, there is one area of President Donald Trump’s administration, though, where he is clearly acting beyond his powers: TikTok.
In April 2024, Congress passed a bill mandating that the social media app be divested from its Chinese Communist Party-aligned ownership, ByteDance, or be banned in the United States. That bill was signed into law by former President Joe Biden, and it contained a one-time deadline extension for ByteDance to sell TikTok if negotiations with another company were already in progress. The deadline for the sale was Jan. 19, 2025.
