Just to give the finger to the non-base and the rest of the world, I guess. Pocketing donor money is probably secondary to trolling all his perceived “enemies” at this point: EPA rolls back coal rule despite climate change warnings [https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/06/politics/epa-coal-announcement/index.html](https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/06/politics/epa-coal-announcement/index.html) > [@](#): > > Washington (CNN)The Trump administration will reverse an Obama-era coal emissions rule as part of its effort to loosen restrictions on the coal industry, just days after a US government report warned that aggressive action is needed to curb greenhouse gases and ease the impact of global warming. I’ve speculated that if an Obama initiative was curing cancer in white male Christians, Trump would want to end it out of spite. ---

Ceremony to honor war dead or an ex-President? It’s all about him. A statesperson or politician is female? The only relevance is whether he’d like to fuck her. But who are we to complain? This is exactly who 46% of the voting public wanted as their leader. ---

When he was sitting in ex-Presidents row at the funeral with his eyes closed folks were saying he was dozing. I think he was trying really hard to come with a way to make the ceremony about him, and failing. And the 46% can go swallow snake oil. ---

I’m surprised he didn’t take out his phone and start tweeting. That would have made headlines AND made the funeral about him. Win-win! It would have been great to see all three exes pummel him into unconsciousness. ---

> [@Fiveyearlurker](#): > > Trump hints that he’s going to do something tomorrow about “[succession](https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/1071055446079926272)”. There’s a decent chance he thinks “succession” is where states leave the union, so I’m a bit worried about this announcement. ---
