New: Convicted Felon Trump Tries to Roll Back Climate Justice

"Give me a billion dollars for my election campaign and I will give you the legislation you want, and eliminate pesky laws that you don't like."

That's what President Trump reportedly said to CEOs from fossil-fuel companies at a recent event organized by We Don't Have Time, the world's largest media platform for climate action.

The event, held in the wake of last week's devastating flooding in Brazil, was meant to raise money for the nonprofit group, whichMaya Angelou wrote about in her famous poem "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time," HuffPost reports.

"While Trump has (finally!) been convicted of some of his crimes, he is also still out there looking for ways to downgrade the world for everyone except the super-rich," Angelou wrote.

"Trump's message was 'Give me a billion dollars for my election campaign and I will give you the legislation you want, and eliminate pesky laws that you don't like.' Seriously, it doesn't get much more blatant than that."
