Trump extends the TikTok ban deadline for a third time; there is no legal basis for the extensions and it is unclear how many times the deadline can be extended (www.whitehouse.gov)

There is a legal basis: congress passed a law, the president at the time signed it, TikTok sued, and the Supreme Court unanimously ruled against TikTok. That's a legal basis by definition.

Perhaps you mean that there is no rational basis. That's a reasonable position you can argue for.

In this case, someone would have to sue or otherwise intervene. But that action is radically unpopular. Nobody wants to be that guy.
