This is probably the least odious of Trump's appointments I've heard so far. He seems at least competent to hold the position, even if he'll do shitty things with it.

The real head scratcher is, why did Biden appoint him to the FTC at all? Why do Democrats always have the self destructive instinct to play nice with Republicans? It's not like Republicans return the favor.
