Very brilliant chess move.

In 2017, Trump barred government officials from lobbying and becoming part of The Swamp after they leave government jobs.

Now, he just revoked the executive order.

This is yuuuuge!

Your comment explained absolutely nothing. You just stated historical events. Saying something is “yuuuge” doesn’t automatically make it so.

Why would he want to enable growth of the swamp? Is that not what this does?

I'm not who you replied to. If I remember right, Trump's EO banning government employees later lobbying the government only applied to his administration. I think he is now allowing his people to lobby because the democrats still have all their former government lobbyists. Perhaps Trump himself willy become a lobbyist?

So he deliberately went back on his word? We need less lobbyists, not more.
