Trump skipped the screaming this week and quietly gutted the climate while slapping corporate logos on your national parks
EO: Ending Market-Distorting Subsidies for Unreliable, Foreign-Controlled Energy Sources
Trump ordered federal agencies to yank tax credits and subsidies from wind and solar energy projects. He called them unreliable and foreign-influenced—because if it doesn’t burn or pollute, it must be suspicious. Treasury has 45 days to start the purge. Solar companies instantly lost billions.
EO: Extending Tariffs on Renewable Tech
The war on green energy continued with renewed tariffs on imported solar panels, EV batteries, and clean infrastructure components. Official excuse? “Energy independence.” Actual effect? Clean tech just got more expensive, and oil execs got another high five.
EO: Establishing the Make America Beautiful Again Commission
Trump launched a new federal commission to “beautify” America. That means more flags, fewer murals, and lots of marble statues of Founding Fathers looking vaguely constipated. It’s public space redecoration with an authoritarian aftertaste.
EO: Improving Our National Parks
This order opens the gates for private companies to “partner” with national parks. Corporate sponsorships, maintenance contracts, and naming rights are now on the table. Nature, brought to you by Lockheed Martin.
Summary
Trump’s pen stayed busy this week, but instead of mass arrests, we got climate sabotage and brand-friendly authoritarianism. He’s slowly selling off the public good, one executive order at a time—while pretending it’s patriotism.
