The swamp overfloweth

On the very day the Interior Department got rid of a rule oil companies had wanted gotten rid of, lobbyists for the oil industry met with the Interior Secretary at one of the con artist's hotels.

In short, at a business from which the con artist receives unconstitutional emoluments, government business is transacted to the highest bidder.

And the real reason he pulled from the Paris agreement. Russia and Saudi have the most to gain without it.

"I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris," Trump said in a speech defending his decision to pull out of the Paris Accords. But it’s strange to build a national economic policy—much less a global diplomatic policy—around an economic sector that employs just 50,000 people, far less than the number of jobs in the solar industry. In fact, Pittsburgh itself stands as evidence that coal and steel are no longer central to the economy: The city has dramatically changed its industrial mix since the 1970s and its largest employers today include the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and Carnegie Mellon University.

He thinks he is. Like many older folk he is stuck in the past as 'the good old days'. I myself find myself quite conservative as I get older looking back on the good old days. Came to Canada and within 2 years parents had a nice house in country on one salary. Sold house after 13 years for 4x it's cost. Simpler times.
