the other reason I will abandon the claim is that, as has been pointed out upthread, it is too soon to get an accurate picture of President Trump.

If it were any other president, I might agree.... its unknown how the long-term effects of an administration's policies might play out, things may change in the last month of a president's term.

I don't think any of that applies to Trump. We have seen time and time again how incompetent he is, so its unlikely that things might change between now and whenever he leaves office. And unlike other presidents, it is hard to find anything positive to say about his tenure.... everything he has done has been a failure... economic policy (skyrocketing deficit, trade wars), integrity (impeachment, constant lies), social policy (causing millions of people to lose health care).

Not to mention rolling back environmental safeguards in a time when the rest of the world has acknowledged Global Warming and impending disaster if things don't change. Then there's all the financial deregulations enacted after the financial crisis of 2008 to prevent a repeat.

Just watch, now that pollution dropped because of all the stay at home orders Trump will claim credit for that drop. Probably by bragging about how his roll backs of environmental standards caused it, not the fact that nobody was driving.

And his Kool Aid drinkers will believe it.

GW issues and environmental issues aren't the same thing. Yes, some pollutants are also GHGs, but that's about it. Don't conflate the two.

Some are related, some aren't. Coal burning is definitely related.

Rivers not being polluted by factories, etc. is important. Don't minimize the impact this a-hole is having on or environmnt.
