Donald Trump's Environmental Agenda at 100 Days: Lazy and Plutocratic

No serious accomplishments or coherent philosophy,
just favors for fossil fuels.

Donald Trump has been in office long enough now to make his leadership style clear. Theres the chaos and daily mini scandals, the rumors and intrigues, the bewildering fire hose of clickbait, yes. But in terms of actual governance, what Trump has done so far can be summed up in two words: lazy and plutocratic.

.

Trump has always been a performer above all, hungry for approval and ratings. He was performing throughout his candidacy and seems interested mostly in performing the presidency. That is very, very different from being a good president.

.

Effective presidential leadership often involves working behind the scenes and allowing others (deputies, members of Congress, interested constituencies) to take the credit. But there is no scene Trump wants to be behind. He wants to be in front, getting the credit, unless something goes wrong, in which case he gropes immediately for a scapegoat. Not surprisingly, he has thus far proven abysmal at accomplishing anything that requires trust, cooperation, or consensus witness health care. Trump is (oh, the irony) a truly terrible negotiator.

.

Thats why the section on legislation in Trumps much-touted list of accomplishments is devoid of significant achievements, full of joint resolutions and reversals (through the Congressional Review Act) of minor Obama regulations.

.

Major legislation requires patience and persistence. Trump has none of those. So instead, the vast bulk of his action has come in the form of executive orders, which amount to declarations that his administration intends to do something. As Jonathan Chait says, this amounts to making America great again by signing pieces of paper asking people who work for him whether they have any ideas how to make America great again.

.

All these EOs may one day result in serious damage, but in terms of substantive changes, so far theres much more Trump sizzle than Trump steak.

.

The other theme of the Trump presidency is the utter collapse of any remaining intellectual infrastructure on the right. There is no apparent governing philosophy at work in economic and environmental policy, just a careening and unpredictable combination of populist theater and naked plutocracy. For Trumps supporters in industry, it is wish-list time literally, the administration is asking industry groups for lists of regulations they want reversed. If Trump has an overarching take on government, its that government is a tool that allows him to dispense favors to loyal constituencies in exchange for good ratings.

.

Lets take a look at how these themes have played out in environmental policy.
