​Trump Hopes Dems 'Keep Going Forward' With Green New Deal

 President Donald Trump was interviewed by Maria Bartiromo of the Fox Business Network on Friday. Trump said he hopes the Democrats "keep going forward" with the Green New Deal. 
​

     "You look at this Green New Deal — it’s the most preposterous thing. Now I don’t want to knock it too much right now because I really hope they keep going forward with it, frankly, because I think it’s going to be very easy to beat,” Trump said.

    "The Democrats actually are becoming a far left party; I mean, they’re becoming a radical party. You look at what they want to do with the Supreme Court. You look at what they want to do with the voting age. Where did that come all of a sudden? The voting age at 16 — they’re becoming radical. They are radicalized,” he added.

     “I want them to embrace this plan. I want them to go and sell this plan. I just want to be the Republican that runs against them for that," Trump continued.

     “And it would force the destruction or renovation of virtually every existing structure in the United States. New York City would have to rip down buildings and rebuild them again. I don’t think so. This is the craziest plan," Trump said.

     “The Green New Deal would completely abolish the American oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear power industries, of which we’re now the leader in the world,” he explained.
