I'm wondering about the timing of this because there was literally no hint that it was coming. Is it a signal, a big "#### you all" in response to the Women's march? Basically, "if you protest, I'll deliberately do things that counteract your agenda"? Or is that reading too much into it.
They addressed the timing in the article.
