Dilbertman has gone a bit loopy in a lot of ways, mostly because like most boomers he is terrified of death (no joke for years he has been saying that the reason he does so many interviews and periscopes etc is so that there is enough samples and data about his positions/behavior/thoughts that in the future they can essentially replicate him) but one thing he is usually pretty insightful on is persuasion techniques. Now these days he ignores a lot of Trump's flubs and covers for him which quite annoys me, but I've still taken a few of his lessons to heart. In this instance I think Trump is genuinely using a few of those innate techniques he has.
Specifically he has conditioned us to the idea there will be change in the social media landscape. A lot of us are, thanks to how increasingly frequent and intense his tweeting and message has become, fearing how far he will go. We are 'past the sale', we expect change now.
He's now also 'Going big then small'. Saying we should do a massive change, but then enacting a smaller one (compare his EO to saying repeal 230, and a year from now compare the actual changes to the wording of the EO) which everyone agrees is much much better than what he originally said (and is closer to what he actually wanted to achieve).
I mean, sure he could just be a big giant sperg, but he's used these types of techniques a bunch in the past to achieve things, and if it wasn't for the democrats, media, and RINOs he would have achieved a lot more legitimately good policy with those techniques.
