He was one of the first people saying to ban it in 2020. To me it’s more like he is easily swayed with lobbying so it ends up looking like he is a pioneer on pushing new policy when in actuality he is the first person people go to when they need to bribe a politician.

This is not unique to Trump. Politicians say "they changed their views" if there is enough oil to grease wheels.
