The Supremes are apparently going to release their opinion on the Tik Tok case today. Based on the tenor of the oral argument, everyone expects them to uphold the ban. In the meantime, several prominent members of Congress are frantically asking for more time before the ban is enforced, and Trump, of course, has completely changed his position on the matter. He wants to use his unique powers to make a deal that will work for everyone–kind of like his plan for Obamacare, I guess.
What does this tell us? That in spite of lots of tough talk about China being an existential threat from the right, short-term political and economic concerns can still prevail over ideology. The intense pain of decoupling from China, for which Trump and his acolytes have done nothing to prepare the public, means it will happen, if at all, in fits and starts.
