I had not focused on President Trump prior to this post. Afterwards I went to a rally and heard President Trump speak on energy issues for 40 minutes without notes, the most comprehensive energy speech I had ever heard from a Presidential candidate. I learned quickly that the press had been misrepresenting his views and campaign. I volunteered to work on his campaign following that speech. Andrew R.

We are writing a short story about a Facebook post that Andrew Wheeler made in Feb. 2016, shortly before the "Super Tuesday" primary in the 2016 president race. I've attached an image of the Facebook post, and transcribed it below: Tomorrow is Super Tuesday and if you are considering voting for Donald Trump please think about the following: 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523_00002502-00004 1) no one really knows what his political beliefs are, he has donated to both parties over the years and to people with completely opposite views. 2) he has demonstrated through the debates and interviews that he doesn't understand how the government works. 3) as a businessman, he really hasn't been that successful. He is a successful PR person, but not a businessman. 4) he has given no details, no details at all, about what he would do or how he would do it. 5) he has more baggage then all of the other Republican candidates combined. The Press has not gone after him yet but will if he becomes the nominee. They will make him too toxic and Clinton will walk away with the race. 6) he is a bully. This alone should disqualify him from the White House. I'm writing to confirm that this is Wheeler's account, and to ask if he would like to comment on his past views. Email me or call me if you have any questions -- thanks! Best, Dino 716-818-0825 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523_00002502-00005
