Im a very big person when it comes to the environment. I have received awards on the environment.
President Trump, remarks during a meeting with business leaders, Jan. 23
One of Donald Trumps first proposals as president is to help businesses by cutting regulations by 75 percent. Trump cited environmental regulations as an example during a meeting with business leaders, but claimed he was a very big person on the environment who has received awards on the environment.
Trump touted his alleged environmental accolades as early as 2011, when he said during a Fox and Friends interview, Ive received many, many environmental awards. He repeatedly claimed this during the 2016 presidential campaign: Ive won many environmental awards, by the way. Ive actually been called an environmentalist, if you can believe that...............................
............The White House pointed us to a self-published book by Trumps former environmental consultant. The only award mentioned in that book was from New Jersey Audubon but the group denied it ever gave an award to Trump, the Trump National club in Bedminster or any of its employees.
Here is one award that well give to Trump. Its not related to the environment and he already has many of them but we present Trump with his first four-Pinocchio rating as president.
