I can’t tell if this legit or more Trump meddling

Over this piddly shit? Really, you actually can't tell if this wasn't Trump meddling? Nintendo got the patent last September under Trump's acting USPTO director Coke Morgan Stewart. Two months later, the new director John A. Squires ordered it reviewed (bad patents fall through the cracks all the time; IP attorneys have described patent lawsuits as a "minefield" for both parties). Now, in a non-final decision for which Nintendo has two months to respond, it has been revoked. Nintendo didn't even respond to the patent reexamination. I suggest reading the Games Fray article referenced by the linked content mill article poorly regurgitating it.
