This is an executive order to make an end-run around all that "bureaucracy". > has little to do with the recent twitter news. This fails the plausibility test. This came hot on the heels of this incident, Trump _said_ it was related to this incident, and that he'd be doing this as result, and the last several years are packed with a multitude of examples of exactly that: Trump knee-jerking an angry response (words, actions, both) to those who he deems to have slighted him.

And no it wasn’t legislation it was a draft of an executive order from last summer as mentioned in this article.
