I think it's pretty pointless to discuss the pretextual judicial justification for something that is just raw politics. Trump will decide if Tiktok is banned, it's as simple as that. You don't need to analyze the supreme court case, it doesn't matter. If Trump is motivated to get rid of it, he'll find a way. If he doesn't want it sold, he'll find a way. What exactly is the supreme court planning to do if Trump just ignores the ruling? What exactly is Tiktok planning to do if Trump chooses to attack it? Trump has all 3 branches of government and is constrained by no norms. He can simply do as he likes and focusing on the legal arguments just looks a bit silly.
