All Trump’s order does is protect TikTok from the fines and liability. If Biden didn’t intend to enforce, he could’ve done the same. He didn’t.

ok. He just said "it will be on a Sunday, with Monday holiday. Just let Trump decide everything." I did not really know about the "fines provision", but a mix of PR stunt, and clarity on being scot free, can still have some political basis. There will now be politics about Trump being pro Chinese disinformation, while social media users are grateful to not be banned, and even if that is slam dunk politics in congress, it doesn't actually play for the "fascist side" on this issue.
