Breaking News from The Washington Post:
“What Trump promised oil CEOs as he asked them to steer $1 billion to his campaign”
– Josh Dawsey and Maxine Joselow, 05/09/2024
John, this is HUGE news.
At a fundraising dinner last month, Donald Trump reportedly told a room full of Big Oil executives that if they gave $1 billion to support his campaign, he’d immediately reverse dozens of President Biden’s environmental policies — from progress on electric vehicles and wind energy to giving the fossil fuel industry more offshore drilling leases and relaxing regulations.
“You’ll get it on the first day,” Trump said at his oceanfront fundraiser — yeah, the people responsible for the rising sea levels and overheating ocean were clinking glasses and cutting checks to the guy who promises to make the crisis even worse, all while enjoying the scenery.
Trump thinks he can put a for sale sign on our future and get away with it.
Not on our watch.
