> President Donald Trump acted Saturday to fulfill a key portion of his pledge to "drain the swamp" in Washington, banning administration officials from ever lobbying the U.S. on behalf of a foreign government and imposing a separate five-year ban on other lobbying.

>Trump has said individuals who want to aid him in his quest to "Make America Great Again" should focus on the jobs they will be doing to help the American people, not thinking ahead to the future income they could rake in by peddling their influence after serving in government.

>"Most of the people standing behind me will not be able to go to work," Trump joked, referring to an array of White House officials who lined up behind him as he sat at his Oval Office desk. The officials included Vice President Mike Pence, chief of staff Reince Priebus, senior strategist Steve Bannon and counselor Kellyanne Conway. "So you have one last chance to get out."

Trump did it so it's automatically bad even though if anyone else did it it would be good.

How does this get around the right to pettition?Anyways, who do people dislike lobbying? I wonder if people think every lobbyist is Remy Danton or something? Most lobbyists work for trade associations

>ahahah he's not going to build the wall you fucking drumpfkins

of course; Obama and Bill Clinton both signed identical executive orders.
It's only a established as a meaningful accomplishment by the time he leaves office, considering he can overturn it at will and on a case-by-case basis at literally any time.
>>
>>105612

Also point of fact the entire senior staff of The State Department just resigned too.

These people have been there for decades, doing pretty much anything they wanted while administrations come and go.

Whether directly or not, he cornered them into leaving.

> people say he's not draining the swamp, but I notice the water level getting lower
>>
>people think this means he's living up to his #draintheswamp promise

While I agree with this ban, it's really just a distraction. Politicians leaving the government to become lobbyists is 1/1000th as troublesome as giving lobbyists/corporate interests political power through appointment, which Trump is doing.

He's putting out a mousetrap by the front door so you forget about the pack of wolves he's letting in through the back.
>>
>>105757
This means precisely dick by itself. He's gotten rid of folks who may or may not represent special interests and filled his cabinet with some certified bog men and basically handed administration position to every former opponent willing to publicly bend knee to him.
let's see whom he replaces the folks with.
>>
>>105777
>ITS, LIKE, A DISTRACTION MAN.
Your tinfoil is showing.

It's quite amazing how tables turn so quickly.

Yeah that's not a conspiracy. That's politics.

Cool opinions on a legally binding document bro

This does more to deal with the "revolving door" issue than anything Obama did in eight years.

can ayone explain to a simpleton what he did without big words?

I thought we did that with Baby Bush.

At least he can dodge a shoe, same thing as a wrench.

The government does bad things with corporations.

A lobbyist is a sneaky person who helps the government do bad things with corporations.

We don't like lobbyists.

Trump made it so government employees cannot be a lobbyist for 5+ years.

Less lobbyists, good for America.

So instead of a sarcastic #draintheswamp I would normally use, this deserves are serious, non-sarcastic Drain the swamp!

Good goys

>>106108

It does not, however, change the ability of lobbyists to become government regulators, which some to consider to be a much bigger problem >>105777.
>>
>>106109
These are the billionaires that love their country.

Not every rich person is a traitorous kike. Your fucking racism is disgusting.
>>
So it sounds like other presidents already did something like this, and this is meaningless because as long as your buddies with Trump he can waive it.

Also does nothing to stop corporate interests, which is the real pusher of shit when it comes to these.

So is he just draining parts he doesn't like? Still have wonder children like DeVos in his cabinet.

Look who's the racist now.

wow, so you mean that they have to wait a FULL FIVE YEARS? How will the lobbyists ever cope????!!!

No, no it doesn't.

Who's going to pay for the wall? Mexico you say? How exactly. America cannot strong arm Mexico, as Mexico has more leverage over America, because American companies need access to Mexican FTAs to be able to reach markets that cannot be reached through the US.

If Trump puts tariffs on Mexican imports then they'll jack up the price to compensate, with will mean that American consumers will pay for the wall. Mexicans will pay nothing and Trump will be embarrassed

Either weak bait or a shill who really wants to get a pay cut. Fuck off Ezra

>>106541
I have to admit that I am a shill. Good guess. I am ashamed of myself sometimes.

Did you know that my company takes people like you VERY seriously? It's not often we get spotted, or even accused of being on the job. You are quite talented.

Half of the building is dedicated to tracking the "super goyim" as we jokingly call your kind.

Unfortunately, you be severely punished. Rest assured it is for the greater good.

All hail... you know who.

>>106562
Don`t do this, you`re going to spur them into believing even crazier things.

Good. I don't like Trump, but lobbyists(especially on behalf of big corporations) have too much influence over the government.
>>
>>105603
Meaningless. It has about as much weight as executive orders that "fight" "waste fraud and abuse". The beast will not be vanquished by such token efforts. Wait I'm sorry, I need to pretend this is my first election so I can fit in. Uh, drain the swamp?

There are some really gullible people on this board.

Or maybe they did such a good job, nobody wanted to fire them?
>>
>>105705
As mentioned before, obama and clinton did similar executive orders. But what happens after this will tell how committed he is to it
