The White House is not going to release the visitor’s list so those people’s advice can be kept secret. In order to see where some of those scary plans are started we need to look at who is on the economic advisory council.
One says Trump must do away with a rule to make railroad tankers have double walls so they don’t leak during accidents. (Remember all the recent leaks and fires, plus trains going through your town.) The why is his company owns hundreds of the old single wall tankers.
Another is pushing to cut back on regulations and regulators in the Gulf of Mexico. You guessed it, he is a BP executive. They learned nothing from the Deep Water Horizon disaster.
Apparently every person on that advisory council has a regulation or law they want eliminated. The financials want to go back to pre-Great Recession rules. The coal miners want to pollute the air and streams and ecology forever. The oil industry wants to drill wells in the National Parks.
Trump has over $40,000,000 in his re-election campaign. Much of it is from these people and companies on that advisory council. They have bought the President’s ear and his pen on executive orders.
