  1. I don’t understand why this would prompt Mitch McConnell to regret his vote.

  2. This is one among many reasons Mitch regrets his vote.

  3. More edicts, more bans. Expect there to be a lot of bans coming. The Floridification of the entire country.

  4. This isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. He has zero power to force people to do anything

  5. I thought this was a joke. Then I researched it Google and saw it’s true that Trump will sign an EO next week. Our environment is screwed with anti-science Trump in charge. He’s too stupid to know how stupid he is.

  6. Lol. Some plastics CEO just made $20 zillion and gave Dumph a 100 Big Mac kickback probably

  7. Let’s face it, using paper straws has become an act of civil disobedience.

  8. Lol not liking paper straws is equivalent to a child getting mad that their dad cut the PB sandwich into rectangles instead of triangles.

  9. All the EOs banning things but not offering solutions to fix them. tRump has been full throttle dismantling the government. But hasn’t fixed anything yet. Like healthcare (which there’s no mention of anymore), he only has concepts of plans.

  10. Next he’ll ban low flow toilets and showers. All because his diet has no fiber and he has to flush four times to get rid of that log.

  11. To be fair, paper straws are pretty garbage. There are better organic alternatives out there that aren’t plastic either.

  12. The party of small government wants to dictate the straws restaurants give away. What fucking timeline are we on? This is worse than idiocracy…

  13. Not accurate. They’re doubling down. Claiming Elon is identifying waste and benefiting them.

  14. Why would maga care about paper staws? They probably considered it offensive when they were introduced

  15. Straws are such a tiny part of the pollution problem, so I thought it was silly to target them for a ban, but now to forbid there use is even stupider.

  16. My mom absolutely hates Trump like calls me regularly to talk about how sick everything he does makes her feel, but she has an almost equal level of disgust for paper straws so this is gonna be a confusing announcement for her

  17. Wtf 🤬 He just wants us to use more oil to produce plastics. FDT. Do not obey in advance.

  18. “Less government! Less laws! Personal freedom!”-GOP

    “Make laws to ban things we don’t like!”- Also GOP

  19. I have had maybe 1 or 2 paper straws that weren’t shit and I hate them… but what about the free market and states rights!?!?! Like California has every right to do ban them

  20. This coming from the same people who make fun of men for drinking with straws implying they’re less manly for doing so… if only weak men drink from straws, why do they care about straws so much?

  21. I hate paper straws but how can the president just ban them? You have to make a law to do that.

  22. Thank God, finally working on lowering grocery prices and ending inflation. /s

  23. Somebody definitely got a Diet Coke with a paper straw in it….

  24. Where is this ‘small government’ that I heard about?

  25. Small government at work addressing the real issues.

    Edit: /s since our world is insane right now, and it may not be clear.

  26. You don’t have to ban things like paper straws and DEI hiring policies. These things aren’t driven by short-sighted greed but by people trying to be decent and do the right thing. That’s not particularly profitable, so simply not mandating measures like this is enough to minimize them. Generally speaking, companies will do exactly what they think will make the most money.

    So obviously, this has nothing to do with anything but culture war distraction while Elon Musk dismantles our government and robs us all blind.

  27. So… I guess there will be no policy that actually can help the American people.

  28. does it ban paper straws or just unban plastic ones – I’m ok with banning both plastic is bad and the paper ones just fail

  29. I thought this was the party of “freedom and personal choice”

  30. Even if you’re Okay with both options, banning paper straws is no better than baning cadberry eggs

  31. I don’t like Trump but paper straws have a ton of PFAS in them to make them water resistant. If provided the choice between paper straws and no straws, I would go with no straw.

  32. Nothing says “free economy” like banning the sale of paper straws, for fuck’s sake.

  33. Don jr must’ve complained to daddy that his coke was getting stuck to the paper.
