Donald Trump said Tuesday that federal regulators should increase the amount of ethanol blended into the nationâs 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.
âThe EPA should ensure that biofuel ... blend levels match the statutory level set by Congress under the [renewable fuel standard],â Trump said. The mandate is popular in Iowa, which hosts the nation's first caucuses.

Trump is starting to remind me of Schwarzenegger. Not good.
To: Nervous Tick
Could it be because at his core and in his history he is a Populist, not a Conservative?

Yes, but most of us would rather keep our money and decide for ourselves who should get it. But go ahead and rationalize. He’s your dude.

>>Trump will do/say anything to win, including quoting “TWO Corinthians” at Liberty University. Pandering at its finest. <<
Yes, quoting 2nd Corinthians while simultaneously proving that he was completely unfamiliar with it until he decided he needed it for political purposes. That is called hypocrisy. Prepare for more of it, much more.

Trump is starting to remind me of Schwarzenegger. Not good. Living here in California, and living through Arnold's campaign and then Governance . . . That is exactly the feeling I have been getting from Trump. ARGH. It was a disaster.

I consider having this as part of national defense. Oil is cheap now but it won't be for long. And domestic oil is subsidized also. So don't kid yourself.

Look at the behavior of the fanatical Trump supporters on FR and tell me you do not see the Pillars of Styro all over again. I’ve said that for months. Not the normal supporters. I mean the ones that refuse to accept anything and underbuss anyone not joining their fanaticism.
