Trump just rolled back auto pollution rules -- and that could kill people
By Associated Press -April 1, 2020 10:05 AM
Critics say Trump's latest move to erase Obama's legacy could lead to more illness and death.
The Trump administration's rollback of mileage standards Tuesday marks a win for Americans who like their SUVs and pickup trucks, but the government's own estimates show big costs, too — more Americans dying from air pollution, more climate-damaging tailpipe exhaust, and more expense for drivers at the gas pumps.
The administration's final rule relaxes future mileage standards for years to come, gutting tougher Obama-era standards that were the U.S. government's single most forceful initiative against climate-changing fossil fuel emissions.
"Great news! American families will now be able to buy safer, more affordable, and environmentally friendly cars with our new SAFE VEHICLES RULE," Donald Trump declared in a tweet. "Get rid of those old, unsafe clunkers. Build better and safer American cars and create American jobs. Buy American!"
But Democratic lawmakers and environmental groups condemn the rollback, and years of legal battles are expected, including from California and other states opposed to the rollback.

Cars do not have "too much junk" on them. And I want my next vehicle to get a better MPG rating than my current car. This is just another way of giving the finger to California.
Fuck this god damn administration. 
He's the opposite of King Midas. He's more like King Mierdas.
