The statement came moments after Trump reportedly told a small group of journalists by phone that the law banning TikTok “ultimately goes up to me, so you're going to see what I'm going to do” after taking office.
“Congress has given me the decision, so I'll be making the decision,” Trump said, according to CNN, which first reported the remarks.
Trump's Truth Social post appears to take a more deferential tone towards the nation's highest court, including its decision to uphold the bipartisan divestiture law passed last April with broad bipartisan support.
“There is no doubt that, for more than 170 million Americans, TikTok offers a distinctive and expansive outlet for expression, means of engagement, and source of community,” the court wrote in the unsigned ruling. “But Congress has determined that divestiture is necessary to address its well-supported national security concerns regarding TikTok’s data collection practices and relationship with a foreign adversary.
“For the foregoing reasons, we conclude that the challenged provisions do not violate petitioners’ First Amendment rights. The judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is affirmed.”
