TL;DR: The Obama administration passed legislation restricting the amount of pollution companies are allowed to put in the air. Trump's EPA has done everything they can to delay or stop these restrictions, and as a result were sued by 15 states. Now Pruitt, Trump's EPA head, has reversed his attempts to halt these delays rather than fight and lose ANOTHER court battle.

"Wednesday's sudden reversal is the latest legal setback for Pruitt's regulatory rollback agenda. Last month, a federal appeals court in Washington ruled the EPA administrator overstepped his authority in trying to delay implementation of an Obama administration rule requiring oil and gas companies to monitor and reduce methane leaks."

Real talk for a second, has this administration done ANYTHING so far that wasn't shut down or reversed?

The "logic" behind delaying or stopping this was that it costs big businesses tons of money to implement environmental monitoring and reduction stuff, and that it would overall be bad for the economy as a result lmao

they've reversed ~25 rules passed in 2016 by the obama admin

the travel ban did eventually get put out under revised terms

EPA budgets are being slashed dramatically

they got their SC justice

to be clear these are not good things but they are goals of the admin.

also new sanctions are going up on russia, which amuses me since trump literally can't refuse to sign it.

Thank you for the unbiased elaboration. I can see why you're one of the more respected posters.

I've never seen a president take so many L's. Even Bush was more going for him, and he was in a war that nobody liked.

The difference was that Obama was trying to pass legislation that a Republican control Congress refused to pass. Trump can't even get his legislation passed AND HIS PARTY HAS TOTAL CONTROL OF CONGRESS. Talk about being cucked

And also that they can't even agree to pass the one thing they've been talking about for nearly the last decade
