Trump’s Environmental Wrecking Crew Is Setting America Up for Ecological Collapse.

Trump’s “modernization” means handing the environment to the extractive industries while weakening the safeguards that keep fish, wildlife, and coastal communities alive.

In keeping with his mission to set America up for failure and leave the planet worse than he found it, Donald Trump signed an executive order directing his administration to “suspend, revise, or repeal” federal fishing regulations it considers “burdensome” to recreational and industrial fishing.

While mainstream outlets fixated on Trump’s drunk-on-power musing that he could “ban fishing” because “the power of this office is crazy,” they missed the lasting damage his order will do.
