Can someone explain to me how they believe the Trump team convinced Biden to sign the ban?

If you think it was a stunt for the benefit of Trump, you’re implying the Biden admin was in on it. Doesn’t make sense to me. Seems the more likely scenario is Biden just royally fucked up again to the point of somehow making Trump look good.

The whole thing? No. The 14 hour temper tantrum? Absolutely.

Still doesn't look good.

Yes, I also think that was bait, because ban started few days before begin of Trump term and ban was not really working. It had a lot of bugs, simple VPN could byoass it, "YES, user who logged in ONLY from USA and now loggin from Europ REALLY IS NOT AN AMERICAN NOW!!!". That two things make me to think it was a bait.

If so, it didn't work. It made him look dimwitted and easily swayed.

Both of which, he is.

If it's that problematic with propaganda then banning it after an election was a meaningless gesture. It served it's purpose and reversing the ban was simply transactional. They paid money and kissed the ring.

He's already truly beloved by most. This really isn't needed to rally further support. This seems like nonsense. To any thoughtful few there are no options for redemption for this dumb shit.

This man will always be a moron.

No, and that's an incredibly stupid premise. Trump wasn't the one to push the Ban. He wasn't the one to keep it going to completion, and he sure didn't PLAN on not having a second consecutive term. He's just following his most basic programming of If Biden did(Thing); Undo(Thing)
