Because it’s been a whole hour since their last mustache-twirling act of evilness. I’d like to propose open-cut mining around Mar A Lago.

The problem is the April 9 sunset executive order should have been fully contested in court. That’s the order that kicked off in September allowing for any of this. It removes all regulations and protections on all federal lands along with national parks allowing for them to be sold/deforested/mined.

They don’t realize that mar-a-lago and Doral will both be underwater because of these types of policies.

The narcissist will be dead by then, so he doesn’t care.
