It's only key if that is what you key on. An argument could be made that was a fantastic decision. It doesn't necessarily mean you don't want businesses to prosper.

And when those lobbyists meet with Trump officials, there's a good chance that the Trump officials are former lobbyists. It's OK though because Trump is too rich to be influenced. lol

Trump made the same 5-year ban as Obama on white house officials working as lobbyist. Trump's order even used the same language as Obama but Trump's order omitted the part where waivers to this rule are required to be made public. When Trump drains the swamp you are left with slime.

Does that mean you would prefer business lobbyists to have more access to the Whitehouse?
