At a closed-door meeting this summer, oil and gas industry lawyers criticized the Trump administration's failure to recruit enough qualified people to secure policy victories that would outlast this presidency, according to a recording of the gathering...
“Two and a half years later, I don’t see the agencies getting better,” Mark Barron, head of energy litigation in the Denver office of BakerHostetler, told the group. “I don’t see that leadership or competence in the administration.”
Barron said the agenda was struggling because of a talent deficit at federal agencies, which he attributed to an unwillingness among many experts to work for President Donald Trump.
"For some, the reticence that comes out of the administration on non-energy components, some of the things he may say about some other issues or you may read tweets about, may suggest to yourself that you don’t want to have speeches like this for the next 25 years or get introduced as such-and-such from the Trump administration," he said. "There’s a real reluctance for some real competent people to serve in this administration, apart from the fact they weren’t going to invite you in if you weren’t supporting him from the beginning."
Trump is such a bungling incompetent that even his BFFs in the petroleum industry are becoming fed up with him. Politico goes on to quote Wayne D’Angelo, head of energy litigation for a major law firm in D.C. as saying “There is a metric buttload of litigation going on in respect to the regulatory agenda,” D’Angelo said, adding that there were “a lot of early wins for environmental lawsuits.”
Now that's just harsh, Wayne. Trump may actually be what he claims to be - the greatest environmental president ever - in a bass ackward sort of way.
Well, they should already recognize, in the US, if you want 'favorable or beneficial' regulations towards your company or industry...you have to pony up and PAY, just like everybody else!

Not really the case for dirty resource extraction industries. They get pref. treatment by default because those in that biz have largely run the government and foreign policy for a LONG time.....Of course we know about the Bush family and Hoover and many others, but those who didn't "play ball" with big Resources were threatened with removal from office or worse.
There is a great scene in the Movie "Nixon" where he goes to meet with the Texas Oil men.

People who work in the oil industry are not required to either have voted for the president, be a member of his political party, or be a freaking cheerleader for everything the president does or says.
