Trump has sold his latest assault on the EPA as a way to get the economy going. The environmental protection agency speaks out its aim in its name. However Andrew Wheeler the EPA head has failed to raise any objections.
The new rules would remove the need to think about environmental concerns when planning a construction project.
This is what trump has been trying to do in many ways since he became president, but it’s an own goal.
