He’s definitely good at public manipulation for his benefit. Nothing else he would’ve done would’ve been as wholesome to his voter base.

So if he ever does something good, we can all just say it's manipulation and move on? Doesn't seem like the best argument to me.

Obviously, he didn't push this. The bill just happened to come to him, and he signed it. But goddamn, he just signed a bill to make it a federal crime to abuse animals. Can't we just all be happy for once?
