Opinion: Trump’s Ties to Big Oil Just Got Even More Terrifying

Donald Trump’s promise to oil bosses at a Mar-a-Lago meeting last month, in which he reportedly spoke bluntly of a “deal” with executives that would see him scrap troublesome environmental regulations “on day one” if they raised $1 billion to get him back in the White House, not only shocked the executives involved, but The New Abnormal’s Andy Levy and Danielle Moodie, too. But perhaps for different reasons.
“These Republicans… I’m certain will turn around and raise a billion dollars for him, because at the end of the day, they don’t care,” Moodie reacts. “They’ll drink their bottled water and they’ll have their safe zones, and it’ll be the rest of us that will succumb to the environment that they will create, that will be cancerous, that will be disease-filled. That will just be horrific. But that’s what they want.”
