Just another sh*t talker, no need to pay any attention to these fools.
Used to. Trump by EO has changed all that.

I'd be happy to, there is a ton of evidence. But why on Earth would I go to that trouble only to be dismissed with the old standby "Fake News!"? I swear that is the most overused excuse of all time.

Posting some anti-Trump links isn't proof of this.

Get back to us when China actually does something to clean up its air.

How so?

Can you name any specific EO that will absolutely cause the USA to lose this position?

Must be fake news right? Trump's joke of a policy of trying to receive an 19th century industry is exactly the opposite of where the rest of the world is going. Why stop there? Might as well make America first by bringing back Blockbuster and KODAK film booths..
That article reeks of hypocrisy.

The world will never do anything to jeopardize the American consumer market. Everyone loses in a trade war but, by and large, we lose less than our partners. This is exactly because we have a huge domestic market.

Clean energy is a liberal conspiracy. Coal is the future! And who cares if it pollutes the environment? The rapture is happening in our lifetimes anyways!
