"SNIP.....

“The Trump administration is preparing to open the door to oil and gas drilling off Florida’s coast — but will wait until after the November election to avoid blowback in a swing state whose waters both parties have long considered sacrosanct,” Politico
reports.

“Drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico would fulfill a long-sought goal of energy companies… But even the possibility of drilling is a politically explosive topic for Floridians, who worry that oil spills would devastate their tourism-based economy in a reprise of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster.”

He is just being a dick with more distractions from the high death count.

He's just grabbing as much profit as he can at this point.

I’m sure those residents of Florida would love the sight and smell on their beaches of oil, dead fish, dolphins and other sea life.

Why to get people to vote for your re election MF45!

7. Note that it's not on the east coast of Florida, where he lives.

It it were to spoil his view he wouldn't do it.
