The article explores the alarming implications of Donald Trump's governance on the environment, suggesting that his motives extend beyond simple profit-making to a desire for complete domination, potentially leading to the destruction of habitable Earth. Recent actions reveal a dismantling of environmental protections, with appointments of oil and timber industry leaders to powerful positions. Trump's reliance on emergencies to justify deregulation, alongside the neglect of renewable energy initiatives, paints a bleak picture of looming ecological devastation as traditional safeguards are eroded in favor of exploitation.
Trump’s overriding purpose is power; no amount satisfies this craving. It’s not just about capitalism or profits—it’s about embodying an era, like a last emperor.
Trump’s actions mirror standard capitalist looting, releasing regulations for exploitation. His order for timber industry destruction jeopardizes wildlife and ecosystems under the guise of emergency.
The administration's lack of urgency in promoting renewables suggests a deeper agenda, with Trump’s leadership focused on dismantling existing environmental protections instead of safeguarding them.
The recent appointments in key positions further echo the pursuit to deregulate and prioritize fossil fuel interests, as seen with the new energy secretary from a fracking background.
