Praise Jesus.
IIRC, Obama made a rule in his administration preventing employees from becoming lobbyists for 5 years. He said he wanted to keep lobbyists out of his admin together, but he had a hard time with that. So, really, Trump is continuing the same rule about becoming lobbyists and is putting in some extra effort on keeping lobbyists out, for the time being at least. It's a continuation of policy rather than anything new. That's more of what I am getting at.
But, the POTUS only has the power to unilaterally do this for the executive branch.
