Not Trump's fault but here is what will happen. Whomever wants to work as a lobbyist will simply call themselves what Gingrich called himself, a strategist or whatever....
The Influence Industry: Gingrich case raises question, ‘What is a lobbyist?’
The EO does nothing; not because Trump is doing anything sinister or whatever but because there is nothing that can be done to stop it outside of branding person X a "lobbysit" and barring that person specifically. Now, if he wanted to issue and EO saying that Shawn Spicer cannot work for any entity with government contracts...then you would have something.
