Clean air is now a “burden.” Trump’s EPA announced it will reconsider smog-control requirements for parts of Texas after Gov. Greg Abbott pushed for relief. This comes as Abbott declared a diesel price “disaster” and separately requested waivers for cleaner diesel standards.

Trump’s past 24 hours of desperation:

— posts Sen. Tom Cotton’s cellphone number and tells people to call him over daylight saving time
— again tries to scam voters with fraudulent promises $5,000 checks to every adult citizen if Republicans win the House and Senate
— says if Democrats win it will be “a 1929 disaster” and an economic depression, essentially admitting he believes his term will lead to a Great Depression
— tells a Mobile, Alabama rally to close their eyes and “pretend I’m on the ballot”
— says he’s giving $100 checks to 20 million seniors
