Unfortunately, Trump has remarkably already won the title of worst president on the environment in the history of the US.
In under 200 days, Trump 2.0 has launched the most reckless assault on environmental protections in U.S. history, earning the title “Worst President for the Environment.”

The Trump admin is blatantly ignoring the overwhelming science to be an international pariah & rewrite reality. No independent moral scientist considers this factually & morally defensible. It’ll be challenged in court & likely will lose. Even the first Trump admin thought this was beyond the pale.
