John, Trump has once again made outrageous campaign promises to his oil-exec donors — this time he says he’ll cut corners on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) process to expedite oil and gas industry mergers.
Those mergers mean higher energy costs for American families and businesses.
The FTC plays a crucial role in preventing collusion and corruption among some of our nation’s most powerful players in the fossil fuel industry.
They are a neutral arbiter — meaning they don’t align themselves with any one party or president. They’re meant to protect YOU — consumers — by preventing illegal activities like price fixing that cause hardworking families pain at the pump and the thermostat.
Trump is promising to change all that so his big oil donors can make even MORE money at the expense of the American people.
