Opinion: Trump has a surprise for Florida he's hoping to keep secret until after the election
Trumps reelection hinges on winning a handful of tossup states in November, including Florida, where the lifelong New Yorker recently became a resident and where his beloved Mar-a-Lago resort is located.
But he also stubbornly clings to the notion that the U.S. needs to lead the world in the production of fossil fuels whose burning endangers the human habitability of much of the planet.
So he has his eye on expanding offshore drilling to the eastern Gulf of Mexico, which just happens to include the west coast of Florida, a state whose economy relies heavily on tourism (see Mar-a-Lago) and that objected so strenuously to an earlier offshore drilling plan that then-Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke backed off.
So what is an egocentric president driven to win reelection at all costs to do? Simple dont let Florida voters know about the new plan until two or three weeks after the November election, according to Politico.
