In what might be his most pressing battle yet, President Donald Trump has officially declared war on… paper straws.
Yes, you read that right. The former president turned current president is on a mission to rescue America’s beverages from the soggy grip of biodegradable straws.
A Straw That Won’t Quit
Trump took to Truth Social (where else?) to announce his upcoming executive order, stating: “I will be signing an Executive Order next week ending the ridiculous Biden push for Paper Straws, which don’t work. BACK TO PLASTIC!”
With Biden’s eco-friendly regulations officially shredded like a wet paper straw, Trump is making good on his promise to return America to its greatest, most durable drinking vessel companion.
Straw Wars: The Political Sequel
For years, paper straws have been a divisive issue. On one side, environmentalists have championed them as a crucial step in reducing plastic pollution. On the other, the anti-paper-straw warriors—led by Trump himself—have long complained that they dissolve faster than an ice cube in Florida.
Republicans have turned the paper straw struggle into a culture war, with conservatives branding them as a symbol of unnecessary government interference. Back in 2020, the Trump campaign even sold red plastic straws as a fundraising gimmick, proudly touting, “Liberal paper straws don’t work.” It seems those glory days are making a comeback.
What This Means for America
So, what does this mean for the average American? If you’ve ever been personally victimized by a disintegrating paper straw mid-smoothie, relief is coming. The move also officially reverses the Biden administration’s 2022 policy aimed at eliminating single-use plastics in federal lands and parks by 2032.
The Department of Interior’s grand environmental vision has now been crumpled up and tossed in the recycling bin. Instead, America will be leaning hard into the durable, petroleum-based future.
Public Reaction: Cheers or Chokes?
As expected, reactions have been polarizing. Trump supporters are celebrating the return of “real” straws, while environmental advocates are bracing for impact—both figuratively and literally, as plastic straws make their way back into the nation’s landfills.
Social media is already flooded with reactions. A pro-Trump user posted, “Finally! No more drinking my Diet Coke through a glorified napkin!” Meanwhile, an environmentalist countered, “Because bringing back plastic straws is definitely the most urgent issue facing America.”
Final Sip
With this latest executive order, Trump is cementing his stance as the anti-Biden—one regulation rollback at a time. While critics scoff at the significance of the move, supporters see it as a return to common sense and consumer choice.
One thing’s for sure: the plastic straw is back. Whether that’s a win for America or a setback for the environment depends on which side of the cup you’re sipping from.
