1. I also wonder if his mother's

experiences affected him. She would have fit in with the tRump admin as she reduced the budget for EPA and softened regs and wanted to turn EPA function back to the states when she was EPA director.
She was essentially shamed out of her position and left the EPA in a mess. I believe she harbored bitterness about how she was treated.
