Trump blasted President Biden’s last-minute policy decisions

President-elect Donald Trump condemned the president Biden’s political decisions at the last minute on Monday during an interview with Hugh Hewitt and blasted the president for making a “smooth transition” difficult.

“I see it just came out that Biden has banned all oil and gas drilling on 625 million acres of US coastal territory. That’s just ridiculous, I’m going to rescind it immediately, I have the right to rescind the ban immediately, so why is he doing this?” Trump said. “You know we have something that no one else has. No one has to the extent that we have, and there will be more when we’re done, because I’ll be able to expand.”

Biden announced the plan on Monday and said it is using the authority to protect offshore areas along the East and West coasts, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and parts of Alaska’s northern Bering Sea from future oil and natural gas leasing.

Trump told Hewitt, “We have oil and gas at a level that no one else has and we’re going to take advantage of that. When I see someone say they’re going to ban 625 million acres, they don’t know what that is, they don’t even know what 625 would look like.” million hectares, and we can’t let that happen to our country. It’s really our greatest economic asset, and we’re not going to let that happen to our country.”

“But you’re giving up the biggest asset that we have. I mean all of that, if you haven’t looked on the map, it’s 625 million acres, he’s giving up all of this,” Trump said. “The good news is I can change it right away, it will be changed on day one.”

The president-elect also criticized Biden’s Presidential Medal of Freedom, especially George Soros, Democratic megadonor.

Trump said the Biden administration is making it as difficult as possible for him.

“They talk about transition, they always say they want a smooth transition from party to party, government. Well, they’re making it really difficult. They’re throwing everything they can in the way, giving trillions of dollars in nonsense, Green New Deal bullshit, it’s worth nothing,” Trump said, claiming Biden was throwing money at people.
