President-elect Donald Trump was expected to meet with TikTok CEO Shou Chew at Mar-a-Lago on Monday as the social media company faces a potential ban starting Jan. 19.

CNN host Kaitlan Collins reported that Chew's meeting would come hours after Trump said he would consider saving TikTok when he takes office on Jan. 20.

"We'll take a look at TikTok," Trump said at a news conference. "You know, I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok."

The president-elect suggested TikTok's reach with young voters could have helped him win the 2024 election.

In a request Monday, TikTok asked the Supreme Court to block a law requiring its Chinese owner to sell the company to continue operating in the U.S.

[Wonder Why]

1. It depends on the size of the"donation" to his re-election fund. Big enough could get the CEO a cabinet job.

Too small gets them banned. Other option at extra cost.

2. A warm spot in his heart and lots of room in the wall safe.

3. Seeing how much he can extort from them.

4. All.this patronage is pretty goddamn unseemly
