No, and that's an incredibly stupid premise. Trump wasn't the one to push the Ban. He wasn't the one to keep it going to completion, and he sure didn't PLAN on not having a second consecutive term. He's just following his most basic programming of If Biden did(Thing); Undo(Thing)
He was the one who initiated the ban...
So you would suggest that Trump initiated the ban just so he could block it at the last minute, in an effort to make himself look good? If the Donvict hadn't gotten himself thrown out of office and had been able to see if through, there is no reality in which he then overturns his own ban at the last moment. He purely and only overturned it here because it was not seen as something He did, but something Biden did.
The premise that Trump pulled a bait and switch, deliberately initiating the ban specifically so he could "look good" by overturning it is absolutely idiotic. He overturned it because Biden finished it, and "Undo Biden" is one of his overriding directives.
