Trump says oil drilling will be banned off Florida coast, Democrats scoff at his claim that he’s friend of environment

Supporters of President Donald Trump arrive in West Palm Beach on Sept. 7, 2020, for a floatilla. Trump is kicking off the final stage of the fall campaign with a visit to Palm Beach County, in which he plans to portray himself as a champion of the environment. Democrats say Trump has a poor environmental record. U.S. Rep. Lois Frankel, a Palm Beach County Democrat, said it’s “fake news” for Trump to claim credit for funding of Everglades restoration.
