    Summary List Placement Earlier in Donald Trump's tenure, the Girl Scouts of America faced criticism for what seemed like tacit support of the president.

    TikTok filed its suit in September to stop Trump's executive order banning further downloads of the app he signed while campaigning for re-election. Trump claimed TikTok's ties to China threatened national security.
