Trump late night antics and threats

Completely shutting down the XL pipeline days of taking office might be a misstep.
I got nothing to say here.

He's been very open about ignoring environmental concerns even when doing so requires him to break campaign promises.

Frankly, if he hadn't been opposing Trump, I don't believe he would have won. But then again, when elections (Presidental or otherwise) come down to picking the least worst candidate from a collection of people who should probably have nothing to do with political power, the outcome really doesn't matter that much.

How do you shut down a pipeline that was only 8% complete?

You can shut down anything that’s 8% complete.

Hey, they shut down the Superconducting Supercollider when it was what, 92% complete?

Anything can be shut down. "Too Big To Fail" is a damned lie.

You are very correct. He was considered a weak candidate for a long time even during his vice presidency. If it wasn't for Trump, he wouldnt be President. In fact it would be any Republican but him or Trump.

Ah that's because bank failures would disproportionately hurt the rich.

Nope, still a damned lie. If they were honest they'd say "we choose not to permit this to fail".
