Interesting to see that he did not issue an executive order to ban this but called on congress to do so. This is just pandering to the base and election signaling and nothing else, at least for now.

This cannot be done by Executive Order anyway.
That's not the point.
He's issued plenty of other executive orders that aren't legal in order to continue to bullshit his base. The reason why he's deferring to congress now (instead of trying to take credit) is because he knows it's not possible and can use that as leverage against members of Congress.
Midterm pandering, for sure
Just think of the shit he's going to throw against the wall when it's only a few months away. I bet he'll wade into "Cancelling all student loans" or "Legalizing Marijuana" knowing his base is too stupid to understand his intentions.
