Government Can Build Trump's Vanity Wall Regardless of Damage Caused to the Environment

Well, I already posted two depressing blog entries earlier today. Might as well go for the triple crown, eh?

Another very sobering story revealing just how poor the state of this country is, as opposed to the sunny version that Trump presented to his base last week.

The Trump administration won a major victory when it was ruled that environmental laws could be waived in order for prototypes of Trump's vanity wall to be built. Really, this is a slap in the face to Native Americans who have their reserve along the border, as well as to all Americans who are concerned regarding the state of the environment. 

It is hardly a secret that the Trump administration does not really care about a healthy environment, as it has made it easier for corporations to pollute our lands, our water, and our air, and it has severely weakened the EPA. Also, of course, Trump infamously pulled the United States out of the Paris Climate Accord, giving the United States the dubious distinction of being the only nation in the world to reject climate change on the basis that we officially do not believe in it, regardless of the mountains of scientific evidence showing that this "theory" is, in fact, reality.

Well, here we go again. Trump can trample on more environmental laws - and surely will - in order to build that ridiculous, useless wall of his.
