Remember when Don the Con claimed he’d protect the air and water? Neither do I.

This is the kind of thing that makes Trump, Pence, their regime, and Republicans in general so dangerous.

Great Lakes States that gave the orange guy his unbelievable victory of 306 electoral votes - most ever: WI, MI, OH, and PA (IN as well, but that wasn’t going to happen), but just couldn’t vote for Hillary because reasons. Who needs clean drinking water?

Because we all have the right to flammable tap water

Donald Trump is going to learn just how “local” politics are in our society! WE are not going to tolerate these proposed cuts…so go back to your drawing board Donald and come up with a BETTER budget proposal for managing the People’s business!

Actually, he did, vowing in February “to promote clean air and clear water.”

Edited to add that I found an earlier example: Donald Trump, on Morning Joe, on 11/30/15, on what he would say at the then-ongoing Climate Change Summit: “We want to have clean air to breathe, and we want to have beautiful, clean water; that’s very important to me.” Skip to 1:54 to avoid the usual hard-to-stomach Trump word salad.

Cuts to the EPA ,IMO,prove that Trump and his ilk are living for today only.
They think they will pass on before any great climate disasters occur which causes me to believe they do not give a damn about their children.

Campaign promises are made to be broken…

Goodbye unleaded water, goodbye breathable air, goodbye unpolluted streams and lakes, goodbye public education and arts and humanities…

Hello huddled masses longing to be free…

Oh, for sure, and it’s not like any of us really believed this one, any more than we believed the rest of the “promises” that Trump has made.

I was being sarcastic, and fully agree. Don the Con lied to pretend he cared about protecting our environment. He only cares about his grifting.

Goodbye Planet, Goodbye Life.

Trump has probably instructed his scumbag sons to buy millions of shares of stock in water filter companies and air purification companies. Likewise in defense contractors for when Drumpf declares war on the world. There’s never been a more corrupt, unfit POTUS…and that includes Nixon.

Republican voters in the Great Lakes states are the same as GOP voters elsewhere—they don’t give a flying fuck about clean water, breathable air, safe medicines, or healthy food.

It’s really that simple.

The biggest geopolitical issue of the future will be access to clean sources of potable water. So yeah, lets go ahead and trash the Great Lakes.

A possible silver lining: Mar A Lago may be one of the first casualties of rising oceans. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Nixon was actually rather competent. Paranoid, certainly, but he understood how government worked. He also established the EPA, and proposed a national health care policy. He was a strange man, perhaps could have been great, but he was deeply flawed.

Seems this idiot has a bigly grudge against The United States.
Wonder why?? Maybe his resume will explain it or those tax returns.
