You’re giving Trump WAY too much credit. This is happening for the sake of profits, not Trump’s feelings, you think he gives a single shit about this? Beyond just the degree to which it does or doesn’t enrich friends and family?

Take Trump away and the same number of people fight to deregulate PFAS. But on the other hand, Trump never met a grift he didn’t like and through him all things are possible, no disagreement there.
