With how inconsistent and on and off this administration has been I expect this will probably never happen, or there will be exemptions to this for every company that this was most abused for and just sucks up to the president.

Until anything actually happens there's no reason to take this president at his word.

Why? Trump was known for "telling it as it is" so shouldn't the assumption be that it will happen?

AFAICT, the people that promoted him that way often had mutually incompatible interpretations of what he was saying that happened to fit their own biases coming in, which they felt like Trump was agreeing with.

And as the rubber of vague, contradictory, and incoherent statements hit the road of substantive action, that impression became a lot less common.

There's been tons of silly statements from Trump that never got implemented.
