President Trump on Monday signed an executive order that encourages the government and businesses to purchase plastic drinking straws instead of the highly inconvenient paper straws that radical environmentalists demand we suffer with.
“We’re going back to plastic straws,” the President declared.
President Trump has long been a fan of plastic straws over their soggy counterparts. In 2019, the Trump reelection campaign triggered liberals across the world by selling plastic Trump drinking straws, The Gateway Pundit reported.
It’s unclear why they are so opposed to plastic straws a recent study discovered that paper straws may contain “forever chemicals,” harmful to both humans and the environment.

“This is an executive order relating to the use of paper straws. As you’ve consistently identified, nobody really likes paper straws,” the President’s staff secretary, Will Scharf, said while presenting the order.
“Number one trending! Can you believe it? The paper straws. It was number one trending for three days or something,” the President interrupted.
Sharf resumed, “The environmental impact of plastic straws versus paper straws is entirely unclear. This has cost both the government and private industry an absolute ton of money and left consumers all over the country wildly dissatisfied with their straws. So, we’re asking aspects of the federal government, federal departments, and agencies to look at their existing procurement processes. And we’re asking your domestic policy council to look holistically at this issue to address it, and it really is something that affects ordinary Americans in their everyday lives.”
Before signing the order, President Trump said, “We’re going back to plastic straws. These things don’t work. I’ve had them many times, and on occasion, they break, they explode. If something’s hot, they don’t last very long, like a matter of minutes, sometimes a matter of seconds. It’s a ridiculous situation.”
“So we’re going back to plastic straws. I think it’s okay,” he continued.
After putting his signature on the order, the President added, “I don’t think that plastic is going to affect a shark very much as they’re eating, as they’re munching their way through the ocean.”
Secretary of Commerce Nominee Howard Lutnick is seen next to the President, chuckling at his remarks on the ridiculous paper straw push we’ve seen in recent years.
