Remember when Obama did this exact thing and Trump just immediately undid it when he became president?
And all his constituents that he was screwing over cheered him for being "a smart businessman".
If I recall correctly, it got overturned by a Federal Court before Trump took office. Trump WOULD have undone it - but he didn't have to.
