Trump cannot do anything actually. The decision has been made, and the ARMY Core is not gonna dump their 2 years of pristine work product and FEIS because of a tweet by an uninformed son. The President cannot stop this decision, and it is the last thing he wants to do. He intends to make all sorts of political hay on this, America's first major copper mine this entire century. He is big on jobs for Alaskans, and this mine is desperately needed in America's poorest county. State and local tax revenues are already anticipated by alaskan government. McCloskey wants credit too for this, and every single time his state government helps this project, he will get credit in the next couple years. Think of the construction pictures with him at the mine, all over the state government and county government buildings.
I have no doubt the President is profoundly disappointed in his eldest son, who committed suicide (perhaps Jr. thinks this might endear him someday to the liberals, and I would not put this past him, but he has just crushed his conservative support completely. Trump always has Eric, who is in no way shape or form an "environmentalist." Worse than any of this, worse even than Jr.s virtue signalling, is that Jr. has no idea what he is talking about, not the slightest. That is the larger stigma now for Jr. That he went off half cocked with Hanoi Jane not knowing a thing about what he is talking about. This speaks to an error in judgement, very bad. Conservatives have very long memories, decades. Every single one hates Fonda. We remember what she did.
