President Donald Trump said Democrats concerned about the environment and America’s energy use often ignore what other countries like China, Russia, and India are doing to pollute the atmosphere.
During a Friday "radio rally" with radio host Rush Limbaugh, Trump said other countries are ''spewing crap'' and the Democrats don’t ever bring it up.
''They want our air clean, but they don’t talk about China, Russia, India, these other countries where the pollution is massive and going up,'' Trump said.
Trump said it’s ''unbelievable'' what other countries dump into the ocean that winds up floating into California.
''And we end up cleaning it up. And then they say, ‘Well, you know, the environment, the environment.’ I could tell you hundreds of stories. You know, a lot of what you and I talk about is really based on common sense. You know, people say, 'Are you a conservative?' I say, 'Nope, I’m common sense.''' Trump said.
Trump also discussed wanting clean air and clean water.
He praised the U.S. for becoming the world’s leader on producing oil. He then ripped former Vice President Joe Biden for flip-flopping on whether he would ban fracking.
''America has tremendous potential when you look at what we’ve done with energy, and they want to take that advantage away and give it to these other countries,'' Trump said.
