  What are the politics behind this? It is kind of unexpected to see this happen under Trump.

  Had this been in plans for years and the administration just failed to take notice and stop it? Is this the FTC trying to undermine Trump?

  Maybe it is Trump's friends using the FTC against their competitors? Or, maybe using the FTC to set precedent that will insulate their business?
