I have no idea where Trump thinks an executive order can shield any company from legal action of an actual LAW - especially one #SCOTUS specifically upheld.

@volkris The law gives flexibility to extend the deadline, not to lift the ban.
Also, I don't mind it was banned. I think that China is massively involved and I think the app is a danger.
That said, my only point was Trump has no authority to undo the ban...w/o lawmakers.
