There is so much irony floating around. I like to pretend that some big-brained environmentalist bugs-bunnied Trump into doing this: “pwease mr trump, don’t shrink the american carbon footprint! it would be tewible if you ended mass consumerism and geometric economic growth! and pwease, pwease, don’t end american exceptionalism and global hegemony!”

Seriously, though, we have to make sure that the history books emphasize that all this was due to blundering and not calculation, or Trump could forever be admired as the wokest president in history.
