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 US 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.
