Thursday (August 6), nearly a week after promising to do so, President Donald Trump signed executive orders that would ban the popular social media platform TikTok in the United States in 45 days if they are not sold by their Chinese-owned parent companies (namely ByteDance).

If he thought American execs at TikTok would let go of the multi-billion dollar business without a fight, he’s sadly mistaken.  According to reports, they’re ready to wage an all-out legal war to combat Trump’s order.

“i wanna give a shout out to my #highfidelity family. thank you for all the love and heart you put into this show. i’m in awe of all of you. and thank you o everyone who watched, loved and supported us. ✌???? #breakupssuck”
