At a victory rally the day before being sworn into the presidency, Donald Trump extolled his plan to save TikTok from the law that banned it through a joint venture with the US. On its face, the plan does not appear to comply with the laws requirements for a qualified divestiture that TikToks service providers like Apple, Google, and Oracle could rely on to avoid hundreds of billions in potential fines. Even so, at least some of TikToks service providers seem to be relying on Trumps flimsy promises, allowing TikTok to restore service to the app mid-day Sunday, on the first day of its ban.Trump is proposing a joint venture where the US government owns 50 percent of TikTok. That raises a host of its own First Amendment issues since any content moderation whatsoever might be considered a government act, and the Constitution prohibits the government (not private companies) from infringing on speech. Its not entirely clear how Trump envisions this all playing out, but Trump says, essentially, that TikTok would have a partner in the US government, and theyll have a lot of bidders and the United States will do what we call a joint venture. Trump claims there is no risk to the US because were not putting up any money. All were doing is giving them the approval without which they dont have anything. So, I dont know, it sounds like that works.Trump also reinforced the idea that the whole reason he likes TikTok is because he thinks it helped his campaign. He credited his 21-year-old staffer, nicknamed TikTok Jack, for helping him get on the app that helped him win over young voters.And though the stated purpose of forcing TikTok to divest from its parent company ByteDance (a move Trump himself first tried to do in his first term) was to remove a possible backdoor for the Chinese government to US data, he now says that frankly, we have no choice, we have to save it a lot of jobs. We dont wanna give our business to China.Heres Trumps full comments on TikTok during the rally:And as of today, TikTok is back. So, you know, I did a little TikTok thing we have a guy, TikTok Jack hes a young kid, like 21 years old. And we hired this guy, and I went on TikTok; can you believe what Ill do to win an election?And we went on TikTok and Republicans have never won the young vote, the youth vote. They win a lot of votes, but they never won the youth vote. We won the youth vote by 36 points. So I like TikTok. I like it. I had a slightly good experience wouldnt you say?Romney lost it by 40 points not so long ago. We won it by 36 points. Thats a very big spread.But I said, we need to save TikTok, because were talking about a tremendous who, who in this audience goes with TikTok? Many? Yeah, very popular. And frankly, we have no choice, we have to save it a lot of jobs. We dont wanna give our business to China, we dont wanna give our business to other people. And I said, you know, TikTok without my approval meaning the presidents approval because Congress gave the president the right to make a deal to whatever he wants and uh they did that a long time ago when they have a different president. They didnt know that I was gonna be at the president, I guess.So I said very simply, a joint venture. So, if TikTok is worth nothing, zero without an approval, you know you dont approve, theyre out of business, theyre worth nothing.If you do approve, theyre worth like a trillion dollars, theyre worth some crazy number. So I said, Ill approve, but let the United States of America own 50% of TikTok.Im approving on behalf of the United States.So theyll have a partner, the United States, and theyll have a lot of bidders and the United States will do what we call a joint venture. And theres no risk, were not putting up any money. All were doing is giving them the approval without which they dont have anything. So, I dont know, it sounds like that works. What do you think, good? So, whether you like TikTok or not, were gonna make a lot of money.
