As I called it last night:
The Trump administration had threatened to ban the app for weeks

This was talked about in 2019 when the Honk Kong riots broke out congress, it was congress who pushed the issue and started the investigations if I remember right, they thought they were manipulating the news feed on Tik Tok.
What worries me about this is, Trump could give a rats ass about American security, he is compromised by Russia and we all know it. He has discredited our own intelligence agencies and attacked them every time they didn't line up to his personal views or agenda's. To sit here and think Trumps motive for going after Tik Tok is in America's interest and not his own is laughable at best.
Now, provided he doesn't win a re-election (God willing) I won't be to worried about it, but in true cheeto-head fashion if he were to win and we're stuck with another 4 years of idiocy he could use this against other companies and applications.
Kaspersky is a company owned and operated in Moscow Russia, it is the leading Anti Virus program in the U.S. its on everyone's computers and I know there were steps taken to ensure the security or it never would have been allowed to happen, but what makes this any different than Tik Tok or Facebook? Hell people still have their identities stolen through the mail system and email system yet were not banning these? And lets be clear, mail fraud only became an issue with this administration because its clear Trump is losing the election and mail in voting is going to make up a large part of the voting process. A system Trump himself has used many times.
Sorry, I don't trust Trump, if Trump pushes something there is usually some personal gain behind it, maybe its his way of attacking China in retaliation of the virus(rolls eyes) whatever the reason I will never believe this clown has anyone's interest at heart but his own, mark my words if Trump supports it, it has nothing to do with security or helping Americans.
