Trump promised to scrap climate laws if US oil bosses donated $1bn

[Stalin]

even the assembled bigwigs in the oil industry were taken aback by this new low in a cascade of new lows

"...Donald Trump dangled a brazen “deal” in front of some of the top US oil bosses last month, proposing that they give him $1bn for his White House re-election campaign and vowing that once back in office he would instantly tear up Joe Biden’s environmental regulations and prevent any new ones, according to a bombshell new report.

According to the Washington Post, the former US president made his jaw-dropping pitch, which the paper described as “remarkably blunt and transactional”, at a dinner at his Mar-a-Lago home and club.


In front of more than 20 executives, including from Chevron, Exxon and Occidental Petroleum, he promised to increase oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, remove hurdles to drilling in the Alaskan Arctic, and reverse new rules designed to cut car pollution. He would also overturn the Biden administration’s decision in January to pause new natural gas export permits which have been denounced as “climate bombs”.

Trump would sell his grandmother to a sex show featuring trained hyena rapists.
And that would be far better than selling our planet to Big Oil creeps.

Leftist weenies enjoy the industrial advances of the 21st century while condemning them as if they are evil. What foolishness.

We've heard all this before.
He promised to clear the debt and the deficit, built a wall, bring jobs back to USA and make the Chinese toe the line but nothing happened.

Now he wants big oil to believe him. A billion dollars!!! And he'd trouser the lot.

There are REASONS why Trump made his first state visit to the absolute monarchy that is Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia dominates OPEC, and Saudi Arabia made deals with Trump and Big Oil. So they let him watch the saber dancing and touch the Sacred Sphere, or whatever that was.
