Compare that to Obama’s environmental “accomplishments.”

No but he is not the worst either. He is the best President in a long time in terms of attempting to break the choke hold the entrenched bureaucrats have on various agencies though.

No.  That happened because of many things, including Obama and the California State legislature, but not because of Trump.

And the Flint water situation was caused by a Republican.

Read the text. It says right there:

“Despite EPA’s press release spin, reductions in air pollution during the Trump administration have stalled, while the Department of Energy estimates C02 emissions alone actually spiked in 2018, something Administrator Wheeler and his agency conveniently failed to mention, of course,” said Alex Formuzis, a spokesperson for the Environmental Working Group.

The EPA is lying though their teeth because they want to portray the orange idiot as a positive force. Which he isn't.

Oh, and by the way, Flit's mess is attributed to Michigan's governor Rick Synder, a republican.
