Trump wants you to forget about this

Watch my interview with Meredith on Nebula (get 50% with my link): https://go.nebula.tv/simonclark

Before engaging in his second oil war of Q1 2026, President Trump took his most harmful act to date against climate action. In this video we talk about what that was, why the people fighting him are probably going to win, and why the whole thing could backfire in a big way for Trump and his oily glucose guardians.
