Trump promised to 20 executives at Mar-a-Lago dinner to increase oil drilling and reverse pollution rules among other pitches


Trump dangled a brazen “deal” in front of some of the top US oil bosses last month, proposing that they give him $1bn for his White House re-election campaign and vowing that once back in office he would instantly tear up Joe Biden’s environmental regulations and prevent any new ones, according to a bombshell new report.

According to the Washington Post, the former US president made his jaw-dropping pitch, which the paper described as “remarkably blunt and transactional”, at a dinner at his Mar-a-Lago home and club.

In front of more than 20 executives, including from Chevron, Exxon and Occidental Petroleum, he promised to increase oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, remove hurdles to drilling in the Alaskan Arctic, and reverse new rules designed to cut car pollution. He would also overturn the Biden administration’s decision in January to pause new natural gas export permits which have been denounced as “climate bombs”.

Trump has taken "Pay-to-Play" to a whole new level of corrupt.

And the MAGA Fanatics see NOTHING wrong with that.

NOT one of them will bad mouth Trump about this.

NOT one of the MAGA Fanatics will complain to Wavy about his uncalled-for post of tabloid speculation and shameless claims.

Sadly, today it takes serious money to get anything accomplished. Sadlier still, Biden thinks he can shove EV's up America's ass and kill the petroleum industry.

As usual he is sadly mistaken and Soros' house bitch for liberal progressive America haters.

Trump promised to scrap climate laws no matter what.

Good!  They are destructive policies that help no one but billionaire global elitists.

Do you not believe that trump said what he said dan?

He's going to scrap them, anyhow.  LOL

Trump’s response stunned several of the executives in the room overlooking the ocean: You all are wealthy enough, he said, that you should raise $1 billion to return me to the White House. At the dinner, he vowed to immediately reverse dozens of President Biden’s environmental rules and policies and stop new ones from being enacted, according to people with knowledge of the meeting, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a private conversation.

Giving $1 billion would be a “deal,” Trump said, because of the taxation and regulation they would avoid thanks to him, according to the people.

Is he going to scrap them like he promised to scarp ObamaCare chuck?

No.  I do not not believe that.

Yes, I believe Trump said that.  But I don’t believe he said his vow was contingent on whether or not certain people donated to his campaign.


He will repeal those stifling regulations regardless who donates to his campaign.  So your headline is incorrect.

Vit,

Do you believe Trump would keep those regulations if oil companies didn’t donate to his campaign?

Seeing as how he needs congressional approval to get rid of the regulations I don't see him doing much of anything about them.   Just like he failed to live up to his ObamaCare and Infrastructer promises.
