Trump reversed regulations to protect infrastructure against flooding just days before Hurricane Har

[Crabtownboy]

Just 10 days before Hurricane Harvey descended upon Texas on Friday, wreaking havoc and submerging hundreds of miles of land under water, President Donald Trump signed an executive order revoking a set of regulations that would have made federally-funded infrastructure less vulnerable to flooding.

The Obama-era rules, which had not yet gone into effect, would have required the federal government to take into account the risk of flooding and sea-level rise as a result of climate change when constructing new infrastructure and rebuilding after disasters.

Experts are predicting Harvey — the most powerful storm to hit the US since 2004 — will cost Texas between $30 billion and $100 billion in damage.

Trump has no background or experience to lead America. Then he surrounded himself with people who also don't have the necessary skills or background. He simply is a failure. As we say on reality TV, he's only good at saying "You're fired."

That's right, he made billions just being an idiot. Hey, how about "Dear Leader" Obama? The clown never even ran a lemonade stand before he became the Prez - and it showed. Yep, almost 20 trillion in debt by the end of his term with 10 trillion of it being his. Now that's the way to run things - right into the ground!

I think Trump didn't want to reveal his tax returns for several reasons. One, he didn't want to show his working class followers how little tax he pays. Secondly, he didn't want to reveal how many times his businesses have declared bankruptcy (6). Third, he didn't want to show how involved he's been with Russia. Finally, he didn't want to reveal that he doesn't really have that much money. It's all a shell game. He's a lousy business man. BHut he did marry money. His third wife is as wealthy or wealthier than he is.
