Imagine that...our candidate's child trying to save the planet while the other one is waging war against it.

From the OP article:

Trump himself has not taken an active part in transition efforts, in part out of superstition: He fears too much planning before a victory might jinx the campaign. In 2012, he was shocked to read detailed stories on Mitt Romney's preparations for the White House long before election day.

On top of everything else he's superstitious, as well as a conspiracy theory addict.
