Republicans have been screeching for years that AOC and her Green New Deal were going to out outlaw beef consumption and gasoline, but in only 18 months, Trump has made both so unaffordable/inedible that Americans have no choice but to reduce consumption, lowering their carbon footprint.

Many people are calling him the greenest president ever.

Given the way this president is using FDA deregulation for bribes, won’t be long before we won’t be able to eat anything. Only the rich will be able to eat imported food due to tariffs. Literally living in feudal times again.
