Trump teases plan to roll back key Obama-era water rule, limiting protections for waterways

President Trump announced his administration's plan for a major rollback to an Obama-era water rule on Sunday, a move the White House believes could pay dividends with the farm vote in this year's presidential election.

Speaking to the crowd at the American Farm Bureau Federation conference in Austin, Texas, Trump said he would be scaling back the scope of waters that farmers, manufacturers and other industries must ensure are in compliance with EPA guidelines.

"I am proud to announce that I am taking another step to protect the water rights of American farmers and ranchers," Trump told the room of Texas farmers.

Democrats put this in place to control property rights of the people so they can’t develop their property.

Absolutely correct
The importance of this subject pales in comparison to the ongoing Geoengineering assault carried out by this government in secrecy from the public and without their permission.
It also pales in comparison to this government’s assault against children with deadly vaccines.

Thank you

Calling ditches "protected waterways" is just asinine and an assault on landowner's rights. Obama was a curse on this country and our constitution.
