Can someone explain it to me? I don't understand the joke.

Do they mean that trump flip flops all over the place with changing his decisions daily?

Yeah true, but where is the joke?

It's a backwards flip flop. It's a play on words, if you can't get it you probably aren't qualified to drive a semi with this new legislation.

My comment was a joke. I would make fun of you for not getting it but.. plenty of jokes have gone over my head online so I understand how it looks like a sincere comment. If it were perceived as sincere I totally understand and agree with your snark.

Text is tricky, and I probably could have done a better job making the joke more clear.

It wasn't a joke, it was stating a fact.
