New book declares Donald Trump an environmental hero

When Donald Trump offered to spend $10 million revamping the county golf course in Crandon Park, his top negotiator made one thing perfectly clear: the 20-foot trees along the shoreline had grown much too tall for the mogul’s tastes.

“If he can’t get the 450 yards of mangroves reduced to 4 feet high so the Miami Skyline can be seen along Number 18,” parks chief Jack Kardys wrote to staff in March 2014, “there will be no deal.”

More than two years later, Trump’s failed bid for Crandon is being lauded in a book by his top negotiator, Edward Russo. The title: “Donald J. Trump: An Environmental Hero.”


TOPICS: Politics/Elections; US: Florida; US: New Jersey
KEYWORDS: bedminster; golf; miami; russo
There's another article about this former planning board member, Ed Russo, in NJ who was first turned off by Trump when planning a golf course in NJ. Eventually he was won over and he wrote a book about how Trump takes the environment very seriously when developing properties.

There's a few great quotes from the author. He got irritated by the media trying to dig up dirt rather than get the facts. He shares his thoughts on climate change and why it's a hoax.

Is Donald Trump an environmental hero?

We don`t need another hero
We don`t need to know the way home,
All we want is life beyond,
