there is ALSO no comparison to Trump being (now) anti-lobbying vs. how he was 'before' he decided to run as a Republican for president. Trump was all in re: the pay for play game.
Businesses don't make the rules. Business are forced to play under the rules enacted by politicians, because that's what their competition is doing. It is the job of politicians to enact the rules. There are a ton of places overseas -- particularly in the Third World -- where bribes are a necessary part of a lot of things. Just because you bribe someone doesn't mean you approve of bribery. It's the environment in which you're required to act.
That is different from claiming that the rules are fair, just, or shouldn't be changed. It is the equivalent of taking advantage of a business tax credit that you don't believe should exist. It's your money, and if the credit is offered, others are going to take it. So rather than essentially subsidizing them, there's nothing wrong with taking it yourself even if you think it is a bad idea overall.
But that doesn't make you a hypocrite if you run for office and then repeal the credit, because that is creating the same playing field for everyone.
