Trump usually has a pretty good reason for doing something.
Maybe this was one of the times or maybe it wasn’t.
Don’t think it will gain him a lot of votes.
But what do I know? :)

I hear there's a new "animal torture video" fad. Maybe it's a response to that.
He can use it to go after windmills.
Don Quixote style.
This could lose him a LOT of votes. Rural votes is what won him Pennsylvania.
If this article is accurate the bill defined several ways of killing animals as cruelty and makes that a federal crime. Impalement could easily be used to make illegal the method most slaughterhouses use to kill animals.
By definition, impalement could also include arrows, bullets and knives. Ergo, hunting would be federally defined as cruel.
I don’t like the bill. I presume Trump signed it because he saw some political gain with an impeding election on the horizon. Or, perhaps more accurately, he was trying to avoid any political loss.
I honestly don’t know enough about the bill to have an informed opinion, and it’s not a high priority for me to find out. But I’ll say again, with confidence, this law will be abused by prosecutors to persecute people.
Meanwhile, abusers of humans are wandering the streets all over the country, often released after receiving little more than slaps on their wrists.
