“The pace and severity of this administration’s attacks on environmental information have been far worse than in the first Trump administration,” says lead author Izzy Pacenza. EDGI began monitoring federal environmental websites in the first Trump administration and this time observed 70% more website changes in President Trump’s first 100 days in office. And that was just the start.
the problem for Trump is that when Nixon took the USA from a gold standard currency to an oil standard currency through the deal with OPEC where all oil transactions would happen with dollars which would prop up the dollar’s value … as the world is moving away from oil that affects the valuation of the dollar.
so Trump is trying to reverse course by destroying evidence of oil extraction and manufacturing being bad, and thus Trump thinks he will save the US dollar from its eminent collapse.
Just like how Bush toppled Saddam Hussein’s government for offering to sell Iraqi oil for Euro’s instead of dollars.
Just FYI
Thank you, this is very helpful perspective and it’s new to me.
Modern book burning.
