They denied it, and said that the trucks were inspected for safety. Yeah, right. I guess the Oregon Fire Departments sent those trucks down with deflated tires and loud mufflers.

If President Trump is getting this much done before he even takes office, just imagine how much he can get done when he does!

I hope that diesel RVs are part of this. Most new diesel motorhomes could not be sold in CA, OR, and WA and a few other states since the beginning of the year.

President Trump should direct his DOJ to investigate the CARB and uncover dubious scientific findings upon which the restrictive regulations were enacted, and then file criminal charges for fraud, and sue for massive civil penalties. Don’t let the jagoff’s off the hook.

Not exactly “:Trump Proofing” California, as state democrats and Governor Newsome pledged to do. That certainly didn’t age well in just 30 days.
