The Speaker of the House has made it clear, along with a number of other legislators, that they're not about to give up their role in the constitution just because Donald Trump said so on Truth Social. TikTok can afford to play these games, but as you point out, Google and Apple cannot. I doubt that TikTok's US payment processors or advertisers will either. The result is the usual Trump soup: a lot of noise, a lot of "debate" and then nothing at the end of the day. Personally I suspect that once his inauguration is over, he'll lose even the pretense of interest in this. "Oh I tried to help, but my hands were tied." Then off to the races with the new drama that goes nowhere. Three things you can count on with Trump's presidency: It will be loud and distracting. Very little will get done that can't be undone just as easily. The Republicans will pass a giant tax cut in before the midterms, and Trump will sign off on it.
