"SNIP.....

“Two senior administration officials told Axios they were surprised when they first heard that President Trump would be giving a speech about his administration’s ‘environmental leadership.’ Both said the president probably won’t win a public debate on environmentalism, given he’s spent much of his time in office proudly repealing President Obama’s environmental regulations.”

Said one official: “I don’t know why we’d spend any time talking about their issue.”

“The other official described the speech as a ‘Javanka Special’ (a phrase some conservative administration officials use to describe liberal moves they blame on Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump).”

......SNIP"

This is propaganda to keep his base dull otherwise their atennae might go up what with summer global climate change mayhem happening everywhere: flesh eating disease in Florida beaches, algae blooms in Mississippi due to excessive freshwater spillway and hot weather, and increased tornados, not to mention hurricanes.

Canadians see the environment as the #1 issue this election season. Conservatives are panicky trying to come up with something that makes them look good on the environment. Maybe it is catching to the GOP and they see it in their polling or want to head it off.
