Honestly good move by him to be able to go back on something and not always double down. This was a very unpopular move for both parties.

Amid the backlash, a person familiar with the matter, who insisted on anonymity to discuss the president’s thinking, said Monday that Trump was reconsidering whether to move forward with the fund.

To be fair, this isn't him backtracking yet. The reporting implies that he's considering it and there hasn't been a final decision yet made on what they're actually going to try to do with the fund.

I'm fairly certain if they want to, they could appeal the Judge's orders and let it go up the chain if they want.

So maybe we'll just have to wait until June 12 to see what the DOJ decides to do based on what Trump decides.
