Miami-Dade County is grappling with whether to build a new garbage incinerator near Trump National Doral amidst concerns that President Trump may oppose the project. Commissioner Keon Hardemon dismissed these fears, arguing decisions should prioritize community needs over perceived political pressure. Trump has not publicly reacted to the incinerator discussion, but his son Eric Trump has lobbied against it. Delays continue as the county revisits the environmental implications of its trash management strategies, impacting the future of waste disposal in the region.
"Because a man was elected into office and he supposedly has some sort of magical power to keep us from making decisions that are in our own best interests - I don't understand that."
"Weeks after his father won the 2024 presidential election, Eric Trump, who runs the president's resort business, began urging county commissioners to reject Mayor Daniella Levine Cava's recommendation to rebuild the incinerator in Doral."
