    I’m starting to think of Trump as one of those old school firefighters that would set fires and then swoop in to put the fire out lol.

      He was one of the first people saying to ban it in 2020. To me it’s more like he is easily swayed with lobbying so it ends up looking like he is a pioneer on pushing new policy when in actuality he is the first person people go to when they need to bribe a politician.

        This is not unique to Trump. Politicians say “they changed their views” if there is enough oil to grease wheels.

      Except it doesn’t have the capability to put out fires, so it just starts them, then declares having put them out and leaves them burning

      He absolutely is. All presidents are.

      Those type of firefighters exists in droves still because that is not an old-school thing.

      Yeah, but the ban passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, randomly jammed inside of the global military spending package including funding the Ukrainian war effort and the genocide in Gaza (which is a must-support bill for Democrats and Republicans alike I guess).
