Trump brags about environment after rolling back regulations



...................


(CNN)On Tuesday President Donald Trump took a break from his summer vacation in New Jersey to deliver remarks on energy in Pennsylvania. The speech was billed as an official White House event, but the actual address was the stuff of a Trump campaign rally. Because, of course.
I went through the transcript and pulled out the lines you need to see from the President's speech. They're below.


6. "I was a good builder. I built good. I loved building."
"I built good." -- The President of the United States

7. "Don't worry about the rain, umbrellas work very well, especially when they're made in America."
Information for life!

8. "I love cranes. I love trucks of all types even when I was a little boy at four years old my mother would say, 'You love trucks.' "
"I love lamp." -- Brick Tamland

9. "I do. I always loved trucks. I still do. Nothing changes. Sometimes, you know, you might become president but nothing changes."




10. "We have a lot of road blocks in this country where you have a little claws can stop a project. Little claws can stop it for years. And we break up those little claws, as we break them up fast."
This is a metaphor, I think...........................


Trump touts US energy production at new plastics plant in campaign-like event



https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/13/politics/donald-trump-pennsylvania-plastic-plant/index.html

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump took a break from his August vacation on Tuesday to visit a Pennsylvania petrochemical plant that he hailed as an example of US energy dominance, while also making an overt 2020 campaign pitch.
............................................
The Appalachian region of Pennsylvania and West Virginia are large fracking producers, and the plant could help revitalize the industry which has been hit hard by lower natural gas prices. The massive plant has created 5,000 construction jobs. About 600 jobs are expected to be permanent, The New York Times reported.


But according to the Times, environmentalists are concerned that the plastic eventually produced at the plant will just add to the glut of plastic debris that is not being recycled and is adding to pollution worries.

Trump, however, blamed other countries in Asia, including China, for mismanaging their plastic distribution and disposal.


"It's plastic that's floating over in the ocean and the various oceans from other places," he claimed to reporters as he left for the event.


Trump hits 2020 notes



The President did little to hide his political intentions during Tuesday's official stop.

During the taxpayer-funded trip to the Shell Pennsylvania Petrochemicals Complex, Trump urged workers to vote to reelect him in 2020, knocked Democratic presidential hopefuls and bellowed out his campaign slogans, "Make America Great Again" and "Keep America Great."

His remarks left no doubt that Trump's visit to Beaver County on Tuesday was about shoring up support among blue collar workers in western Pennsylvania, a key region to his hopes for reelection in 2020
