What did Obama do, dumb@ss?

"...The Federal Flood Risk Management Standard, the flood regulations which Trump rolled back, were established by the Obama administration in 2015. These regulations dictated that any infrastructure projects, like bridges and roads, had to be designed to withstand sea level rises and other ramifications of climate change. While these standards had not yet been implemented, as FEMA had been soliciting implementation input, Trump decided this month that he believed the regulations were unwieldy and would cause infrastructure construction delays.

n his press conference earlier this month announcing the rollback of these regulations, Trump noted that the impetus behind his decision to rescind these protections stemmed from a desire to "slash the time it takes" to approve new infrastructure projects. Trump also stated that, "We're going to get infrastructure built quickly, inexpensively, relatively speaking, and the permitting process will go very, very quickly."
