Trump just did something else which is going to drive the left absolutely insane. He signed a new executive order which unravels Obama’s policies on climate change. Of course, this is great news for businesses and job creators but the left doesn’t care about that.
The New York Times reports:
Trump Signs Executive Order Unwinding Obama Climate Policies
President Trump signed on Tuesday a much-anticipated executive order intended to roll back most of President Barack Obama’s climate-change legacy, celebrating the move as a way to promote energy independence and to restore thousands of lost coal industry jobs.
Flanked by coal miners at a ceremony at the Environmental Protection Agency, Mr. Trump signed a short document titled the “Energy Independence” executive order, directing the agency to start the legal process of withdrawing and rewriting the Clean Power Plan, the centerpiece of Mr. Obama’s policies to fight global warming.
“C’mon fellas. You know what this is? You know what this says?” Mr. Trump said to the miners. “You’re going back to work.”
The order also takes aim at a suite of narrower but significant Obama-era climate and environmental policies, including lifting a short-term ban on new coal mining on public lands.
Trump made promises to miners and others.
And he’s keeping them!
