I don't think Trump having tried it matters. The policy of the SCOTUS majority is "executive power broad for things and people we like, executive power narrow for things and people we hate."

If Biden bans TikTok, and it gets before SCOTUS, I expect a lot of amicus briefs supporting him from conservative think-tanks, Republican Congresscritters, former Republican Attorneys-General, etc. If Trump doesn’t suffice as a signal to the conservative SCOTUS majority that “in this case we are all on the same side”, all those conservative amici probably will
