Trump tries to shake down oil industry
Former President Donald Trump asked oil industry executives last month to donate $1 billion to aid his campaign to retake the White House, three people familiar with the conversation told POLITICO — a request that campaign finance experts said appeared troubling but is probably legal.
The oil industry has a long list of policy actions it would want Trump to take, including dismantling parts of President Joe Biden’s green agenda and rolling back pollution regulations that threaten to crimp their profits. Oil executives are also preparing some highly specific requests for Trump, including executive orders they hope he would sign if reelected.
At the very least, the $1 billion ask points to problems with laws governing money in politics, said Erin Chlopak, senior campaign finance director at the watchdog group Campaign Legal Center.
Trump’s request is “shocking,” said an oil executive.

“Three people familiar with the campaign”
Translation…….Three DNC operatives funded by George Soros masquerading as energy insiders.

You couldn't even get your quote correct
"three people familiar with the conversation"
and don't forget the oil executives
This is Trump. This is what he is. Carpet bagger to the core.

Why is this a problem? Trump can ask for money from whoever he wants, it’s how political campaigns are financed. Oil companies are obviously better off with a guy in office who’s not hostile to their industry, the billion would likely be recovered in spades with a pro- energy president.

It's a typical case of "You scratch my Back, I'll scratch yours". All Candidates play that game. Trump is simply under a microscope so it seems like only Trump would do it.

It's not a problem if you want to destroy the world.
Record-breaking increase in CO2 levels in world’s atmosphere
https://www.theguardian.com/environm...osphere-record
Quote:
The rapid rise in the heat-trapping gas threatens the world with disastrous climate breakdown in the form of severe heatwaves, floods, droughts and wildfires. Recent research has suggested that CO2 levels were last this high around 14m years ago, causing a climate that would appear alien to people alive today.
The previous record annual rise in CO2 took place in 2016, amid another El Niño event, which temporarily causes a spike in global temperatures. A more standard annual increase of around 2-3ppm will likely return following the end of this latest El Niño, but this is little cause for comfort, according to Keeling.

Take note, Trump supporters, on how you reached your conclusion, so that when the shoe is on the other foot, you can follow the same thought process.

It's already on the other foot. These people are all cut from the same cloth.
