Trump's executive order banned federal employees from becoming registered lobbyist for 5 years. Unlike the Obama order it doesn't prevent lobbyists from working in the government agencies they lobbied, and it doesn't prevent government employees from going back to work in the industry they regulated in an influential position. It is speculated that much of the lobbying that occurs is by the influential people in an unregistered capacity and it's known as "shadow lobbying".
