Don't just blame Trump for this. It's on the heads of the whole Republican party.

This isn't something Trump cares about. It was passed in 1918, so it has zero Obama fingerprints on it.

This push is coming from Republican and conservative zealots. This is one of those things where Trump's whole purpose is to have a functioning hand to sign what's put in front of him.

Don't let the rest of the bastards off the hook.

I thought Trump was so concerned about bird populations and wind turbines, how bird populations would be destroyed by the technology.

Contradiction much???

Same old, same old.
