Donald Trump said Tuesday that federal regulators should increase the amount of ethanol blended into the nation’s gasoline supply.
Speaking at an event hosted by the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association, Trump, a real estate mogul and the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, said the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ought to follow the ethanol volumes Congress set in 2007.
“The EPA should ensure that biofuel ... blend levels match the statutory level set by Congress under the [renewable fuel standard],†Trump said. The mandate is popular in Iowa, which hosts the nation's first caucuses.

Don’t question him. He knows smart people some of the smartest ever. He know how to make great deals, really great deals. Did I say he is going to make America great again?
Repubs have the candidate they deserve, dopey changey 2016 baby!!
At least The Donald is coming out of the closet showing his liberalism long before the elections.

Pandering is what the Iowa primary is all about. More “first in the nation” BS is what this is.
Because he’s really a liberal socialist?
I haven’t heard anything that gives me confidence in Trump for a long, long time.

Assuming that the quote is correct, there is no way this can be spun to make it look good. Say it ain’t so, Joe...er...I mean Donald.
>> It’s a shame that it will probably go over big with the Big Government subsidy lovers in Iowa.
The Iowa governor is smiling.
I’m gonna build a wall. A big beautiful wall. With a big beautiful gate. And they have to go home. They do, they have to go home, and then they can come back legally. They have to be legal. Our leaders are stupid. They are terrible. They are totally incompetent. We get killed by China. China laughs at us. Our leaders are so bad at doing deals. I know the best people in the country for doing deals. I know the good ones and I know the bad ones. Our leaders are terrible. China kills us, everyone kills us because we are incompetent. I’m going to make America great again. We really are. We’re going to start winning on trade. And, we’re going to mandate more ethanol in our National Gasoline Mixtures. Our leaders are getting killed on Gasoline. We need smart people who will put more ethanol in our gasoline.
Did someone say this guy was a conservative? There is no more “big government”, crony capitalism scam than ethanol. It is a straight up rip off of the American people to benefit a few rich farming corporations. Incoherent policy choices show a man with no core principles.
Trump the crony politician is in bed with Big Ethanol.
Hahahaha.
Donald brings a bazooka to Ted’s knife fight.
Ethanol as a fuel is expensive and bad for the environment.
The Ethanol mandate is nothing more than a scheme to take money out of consumer pockets and put it in the hands of wealthy well connected political cronies.
I wonder how much $ the extra 5% of ethanol will yield Iowans? Billions?
Doubling down on a very bad program.
Hey Trumpophiles, that’s your Donald.
This is Hillary-style pandering.

I doubt anything could beat the Donald’s pandering at Liberty University the other day.
Ethanol is making him rich!
If they put any more than 10% in the gasoline, it will damage older engines.
Donald Trump = Republican Obama.
